Leading a 200-Year-Old Church on the Underground Railroad | Rev. Kevin T. Taylor Testimony

Today, Engel Jones has a beautifully rich, theological, and legacy-focused conversation with Reverend Kevin T. Taylor, connecting from Connecticut. Kevin opens up about his childhood growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the largest and oldest Black church in the city. He shares the sweet memory of how his childhood pastor would always greet him as “hey preacher,” and how one of the mothers of the church held him as a newborn and prophesied that he was destined to preach. But as Kevin grew up, he took a detour through corporate work, Los Angeles, and New York’s Broadway, thinking his calling was limited to administrative and back-office leadership as an executive pastor.

Discover the jaw-dropping moment during a Broadway performance of The Lion King where Mufasa’s legendary words to Simba “You are more than what you have become”—instantly pierced his heart and set a fire in his bones to return to the pulpit.

Learn about Kevin’s current assignment leading a historic, 202-year-old church in upstate New York that served as a literal stop on the Underground Railroad. Grounded in scripture, Kevin shares profound wisdom on legacy, why we must be the best sowers and waterers we can be, and why we must trust God for the increase even if we don’t live to sit in the shade of the trees we plant today.
