Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Tania Taylor for our first S2S Sisters’ topic.
Is your heart’s deepest longing to advance the kingdom of God, right where you are today? Join us as we explore with Tania what a woman’s role should be in the kingdom of God. And come prepared – we want to hear your questions and input afterward!
An interactive question-and-answer period follows.
I’ve been married to Dean Taylor for 35 years. We have 6 children; 3 are married and we have 3 grandchildren, all boys. Two years ago we brought my 86-year-old mom here to live with us at our home in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Two of our children still live at home, and one of our married sons and his family live in a little house in our basement. Our “baby,” is 19, and just started the 2-year teacher apprentice program at Faith Builders in Guys Mills, PA.
We are members of Crosspointe Mennonite Church here in Baltic, Ohio, where my husband serves on the ministry team. We’ve been working in a ministry to refugees on Lesvos Island, Greece, since 2017, and in cooperation with Mine Road Mennonite Church and CAM since 2018. Most recently my husband has taken on a new role as president of Zollikon Institute here in Sugarcreek. Zollikon is a college and trade school dedicated to serving the needs of the Anabaptist community.
I was born in Texas and raised in the Assemblies of God Church. I met my husband, Dean, in high school, and we were married in 1987. We then served together in the US Army in Germany, where we eventually came under conviction about our role as Christians in the army. Our whole lives changed when we began to ask ourselves the life-changing question, “What if Jesus really meant every word He said?” This encounter with Jesus resulted in our leaving the army as Conscientious Objectors. Since then we have been on a journey to follow Christ and embrace the Anabaptist community to help further Christ’s Kingdom here on earth.
I’m passionate about serving the needs of my family and the people around me, encouraging others in their faith journeys, and helping to build meaningful connections between all the wonderful people I meet. I think 2 Timothy 2:22 best sums up my passion: “to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
