Local Church Week – Pastor Taylor Frank
Wednesday, September 9, 2020
Local Church Week
I am a native of Marion, Indiana, and a 2013 graduate of Moody Bible Institute (Chicago, IL). My wife Melissa and I met at Twin City Church in Marion where I had my internship after graduating college. At the age of thirteen I felt the Lord’s calling on my life to full-time pastoral ministry and I have prayed since high school about serving at a church in my hometown of Marion. Joining staff at Grace was one of the biggest answers to prayer the Lord has ever given me. Melissa and I are the proud parents of three cats, one dog, and our beautiful baby girl, Willow. I love sports, playing the guitar, good coffee, and dad jokes. I am currently pursing my MDiv at Indianapolis Theological Seminary.
