Vision & Leadership at Our Evangelistical Church in Deer Park, New York
The Purpose of Our Existence
JCLA is where ministry means empowering people to fulfill their God-ordained destiny. Empowering them to embody, Mark 16:15-18: And He said to them, "Go into all the world preaching the gospel to every creature, teaching them, he who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."
We strongly affirm the truth of Holy Scriptures, "…and that these signs will follow those who believe: In the name of Jesus they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." –Mark 16:15-18 (paraphrased). "It is our mission to ensure that when Jesus returns, He will find faith in the earth" –Luke 18:8.

The Vision for Our Existence
The Vision God imparted to us, and called Apostle and Bishop Taylor to reveal, is to manifest the Kingdom power and anointing through oneness of mind and heart–just as it was manifested in the Upper Room on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2.
By walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, evidenced in Acts 2 of the Holy Scriptures, God empowered the believers who waited with one accord. We believe God is still empowering believers today, according to Hebrews 13:8, which states that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Additionally, we aim to teach that those who Jesus sets free are free indeed, as written in John 8:36.
The Apostle and Bishop have been married for 24 years and are the parents of seven children. They are adamant about teaching our young people how to live righteous lives of integrity, without compromising their God-centered values.
