Meet a Church Planter: Heath Taylor in Scottsdale, Arizona

We want to introduce you to the men and the churches that make up the Acts 29 Network. We are excited to get to work together with them to bring Jesus to cities and peoples everywhere!

In October, 2006, Heath Taylor planted Old Town Bible Church, with the vision of leading a people who both shared the gospel in the local neighborhoods and and built a community of worshippers of God who demonstrate the gospel to each other.

Heath says, "we want to be a people who extend Biblical grace to sinners and saints alike. The Bible says that all who are saved are saved by grace. Grace that God initiates and gives us as His irrevocable gift. Christians are called to live in this God-given grace and extend it to one another in love. We want to be a church that practices Biblical grace in our fellowship together in hopes that the effect will transform the community in which God has sovereignty placed us and called us to serve."

We asked Heath about how God has shown grace to him and his church. He responded, saying "The most impressive thing to me as a pastor has been to identify needs and weaknesses, pray that God would provide strength and solutions and then to watch Him provide the people in the body with the right gifts to serve and grow us. Two years in, I can honestly say that it is God that grows His church according to His will and not the gifts of a visionary pastor / leader. It's His church and He is in control."
