A proud product of the state of Florida, Rev. Taylon E. Lancaster, hails from the small town                                                                         of Bartow, Florida; where he developed a love and sense of compassion for others. Even as a                                                                        boy, He exemplified a spirit of devotion and care for the needs of others more than his own.                                                                        His grandmothers: Mae Bird Smart and Pastor Bessie Mohead’s faith, love, and prayers                                                                                reared him to the person he is today. These early years laid the foundation for the life and                                                                            the ministry of a humble servant of God.
 
                                                                       Throughout his life, he has been seen as a leader in the church and community. As a rising                                                                          thought leader, activist, and servant of this present age, Rev. Lancaster's ministry meets at                                                                         a critical crossroads of Christianity and Community. His commitment to preaching the                                                                              Gospel of Jesus Christ has provided many opportunities to spread his convictions across                                                                              generations in the U.S.A, Liberia, Israel and throughout the world.
