2019 Fall Revival
Guest Speakers

Pastor Taylor Quinley

Pastor Taylor has been pastor of Oolitic Baptist Church since February, 2018. He grew up in Southern Illinois and attended church with his family from the time he was a baby. The Lord saved him at a very young age. As he grew older, he used to think that his salvation experience was not all that miraculous—"it did not look much like the apostle Paul’s,” he thought. Yet, he has come to see how silly that was to think. Regardless of age, God made him new! He was dead in sins, but now He is am alive in Christ!
The verse that drives him in ministry is Ephesians 6:19— “Pray also for me that whenever I speak, words may be given me that I would fearlessly make known the mystery of the Gospel.” That, too, is his prayer. He desires to fearlessly make known the Gospel wherever he may be. Not only does this mean he will preach the Gospel as he steps behind the pulpit as pastor, but that he also would speak the Gospel in his home, the grocery store, with his friends, at sporting events, and everywhere else. Only in Christ’s strength is this possible, and his prayer is that he will be faithful to act in Christ strength.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministry and Divinity from Midwestern College in Kansas City, Missouri. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree from Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Taylor has been married to his wife, Emily, for 4 years. Together they have two children, George and Emmett.
