About Us
Building a Gospel Community
What We Believe
Rooted in the Truth of God's Word
Taylor Presbyterian Church is a daughter church of First Presbyterian Church of Dothan and a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). We exist to glorify God by faithfully proclaiming His Word, making disciples, and cultivating a Christ-centered community where people can know Jesus, grow in their faith, and serve others with the hope of the Gospel.
As a PCA church, we are Evangelical, Reformed, and Presbyterian. We believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God, that salvation is found by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, and that the Gospel transforms lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Our faith is rooted in the historic teachings of the Christian Church and the Reformed tradition, summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. We are also committed to biblical, elder-led leadership, believing Christ lovingly shepherds His Church through faithful pastors and elders who care for His people and uphold the truth of Scripture.
The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) was formed to be a denomination that is “Faithful to the Scriptures, True to the Reformed Faith, and Obedient to the Great Commission.”
OUr Values
Convictions That Shape Our Church
Kingdom Perspective
We desire to live with an eternal perspective, seeking God's glory above personal comfort and recognizing that every aspect of life belongs to Him. Our mission is not simply to grow a church, but to faithfully participate in God's Kingdom work.
Christ-Centered Worship
We believe worship is our joyful response to God's grace. Through prayer, singing, Scripture, preaching, and the sacraments, we gather each week to glorify God and be transformed by His Word.
Welcoming Posture
We seek to create a church where everyone feels genuinely welcomed. Through hospitality, meaningful conversations, shared meals, and invitations into our worship and community, we desire for every member to intentionally reflect Christ's love.
Deep Hospitality
The Gospel calls us to love one another beyond Sunday mornings. We seek to build meaningful relationships by sharing meals, opening our homes, and walking alongside one another through every season of life.
Intentional Discipleship
We desire to see every believer grow in Christ through worship, biblical teaching, community groups, and intentional discipleship, equipping each person to invest in others.
Relational Outreach
We seek to faithfully reach our community through prayer, relationships, service, and Gospel-centered conversations. Whether serving local schools, caring for those in need, or engaging our neighbors, we desire to share Christ's love wherever God has placed us.
Multiplying Churches
As a church plant, we believe God calls His Church to multiply. Our long-term vision is to raise up disciples, develop leaders, and establish Gospel-centered churches throughout the Wiregrass and beyond.
Sending to the Nations
God's heart is for every nation to know Him. We seek to pray for, support, and send missionaries as we participate in His work both locally and across the globe.
OUr Vision
Growing in Faith Together
Taylor Presbyterian Church exists to see the Gospel take deep root throughout the Taylor, Rehobeth, Malvern, and surrounding Wiregrass communities. Our vision is to be a church where people encounter the life-changing grace of Jesus Christ, grow as faithful disciples, and are equipped to live out their faith in every area of life.
We desire to be a Christ-centered, Gospel-preaching, disciple-making church that is deeply rooted in God's Word and actively engaged in our community. Our ministry is intentionally simple and relational, seeking to build authentic relationships marked by grace, truth, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.
As God grows His Church, we also hope to see new churches planted throughout the Wiregrass so that more people may hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Leadership
Faithfully Shepherding God's People
At Taylor Presbyterian Church, leadership is about faithfully serving Christ by caring for His people. Our desire is to lead with humility, teach God's Word with conviction, and cultivate a church where every person is encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), we believe biblical leadership is rooted in servant-hearted ministry, faithful discipleship, and accountability. We are committed to shepherding our church family with wisdom, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to the truth of Scripture.

The Galloway Family
Caleb and his wife, Whitney, met while serving with Campus Outreach at Auburn University at Montgomery and were married in August 2007. Together they are raising four daughters and are grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside the people of Taylor Presbyterian Church.
Outside of ministry, Caleb enjoys spending time with his family, exercising, vegetable gardening, woodworking, hunting, reading thoughtful books, and sharing a good cup of coffee with friends. The Galloways are excited to call the Taylor and Rehobeth communities home and look forward to building lasting relationships as they faithfully serve Christ together.
