About our Pastor
Pastor Lon A. Taylor was born in Monterey, Tennessee. He was saved at the age of twenty while living in Dayton, Ohio.
In 1975 he attended Pensacola Bible Institute in Pensacola, Florida. After graduating from P.B.I., he pastored Faith Baptist Church in Panama City, Florida. In 1981 he moved to Toledo, Ohio where he was Associate Pastor of Hope Baptist Church for approximately 17 years. He also became Dean of Hope Institute of the Scriptures.
In 1998 the Lord called him to become Pastor of Liberty Baptist Church in Ada, Ohio. Ada is a small, college town surrounded by flourishing farmland, beautiful scenery, fabulous sunsets and wonderful people. Pastor Taylor has developed a love for the serenity of the town, the friendly people, and for his faithful, supportive congregation.
Lon and his wife, Shirl, have three children, Kristie Lynn, Beth Ann, and Huey Shane. They have six precious grandchildren whom they enjoy tremendously.
Pastor Taylor has dedicated his life and ministry to the task of teaching God’s people to know what they believe and know why they believe what they believe. His ministry has borne fruit of his labor over the years as he has watched those people, whose lives he has shared a part of, become pastors, teachers, evangelists, and missionaries to a lost and dying world. His hope is that they will “keep on keeping on” as he intends to do until the Lord takes him home to Glory.
