Chris Taylor Biography

Student Minister

chris.taylor@ccvbak.org

Chris gave his life to Jesus at the beginning of his senior of high school, and then committed his life to full time ministry just 9 months later. He found himself at Manhattan Christian College where he earned a BS in Educational Ministries and a host of minors including: Pastoral, Youth, and Family. Chris is currently in his last year of graduate work at Hope International University where he is seeking a MA in Ministry Leadership. Over the years, Chris' heart has grown more and more for the students He has been called to serve. The heart-beat of his life is to raise up young people who will reach their generation. His heavy emphasis on mentoring and leadership combined with his heart to reach the hurting and lost, allows Chris to partner with young people, their families and his adult leaders to make a difference within the teen culture!!

Chris adamently states that his best friend on earth is his beautiful wife of over 8 years, Ila.
