Dr. Bill Taylor Introduces UP
Dr. Bill Taylor is the founder of Unlimited Partnerships, and the visionary behind this unique ministry. In 2006, as an immediate response to the devastation that Hurricane Katrina wrought on the churches of New Orleans, Dr Taylor developed a vision for a group that would help these often-small local Louisiana churches spiritually rebuild and grow. Dr. Taylor created this new initiative because of his concern for training a new generation of Christian educators and because he recognized the potential of networking pastors and church staff members across the nation to mentor and encourage young ministers. Thus, Unlimited Partnerships was born, and now has 5 associates helping to run the ministry.
Before starting UP, Bill Taylor was the Director of Network Partnerships of LifeWay Church Resources, a division of LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention. In this role, Taylor worked with 42 state conventions, 1208 associations, six Southern Baptist seminaries, and approximately 5,000 Christian educators. Previously, he was director of the Sunday School Division and the Bible Teaching/Reaching Division. After leaving LifeWay, Bill served as Executive Assistant to the President and as Senior Strategist for Disaster Relief of the North American Mission Board.
Dr. Taylor's ministry experience includes serving as the executive pastor of North Phoenix Baptist Church in Phoenix, Arizona, and as minister of education and administration at Prestonwood Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas; University Baptist Church, Coral Gables, Florida; Roswell Street Baptist Church, Marietta, Georgia, and First Baptist Church, Lafayette, Louisiana.
He is the author of 21 Truths, Traditions, and Trends, The Power to Change Lives, Sunday School for a New Century and Ten Best Practices. He also produced the following Video Series: Growing Your Sunday School in the '90s; Teaching to Make a Difference; Growing Your Sunday School in the 20th Century; and 21 Truth, Trends and Traditions.
