Our condolences to Pastor Jackie and family. It were a blessing to sit under Pastor Larry and Jackie Taylor for over a year. We thank God for that time with him and as a leader and teacher. May the Comforter always be with you and your family during your time of need. Matthew 25:232 His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
My Deep Love go out to Frist Lady and Sister in law and Family. The time when i Fellowship with the Church Family that was very nice people and the word Reverend Larry Taylor spoke on always was real and it came from the book of Jesus and his Sister was so special to me and his wife and church family Sleep on Reverend Taylor we love you but God love you more Love Sister Jennifer and son and mcmbc home Always and thank you Sister Kim for inviting me in to your church home all the time the word and Fellowship was great.
Pastor Taylor was a man of great faith. I have learned so much under his ministry. He would always say, I am here to inform you, not to entertain you; and by the grace of God he did just that. One of the first scriptures that he explained to the congregation was Jeremiah 3:15 and I will give you pastors, according to my own heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. And I can't tell you how thankful I am to have him as a pastor. I know he is doing the moonwalk in heaven!!πππΎ My condolences to the Taylor family, he will truly be missed.πβ€οΈβπ©Ή
My Condolences to the Taylor family. Pastor Taylor was a great man. He always encouraged me through the years. He was a Christian man. He loved the Lord.
To the family of Pastor Larry Taylor, the word of God gives a blessed assurance in Matthew 5 verse 4 it states "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted" praying you be comforted and strengthened by our Lord and Savior's guarantee of a blessed hope. Titus 2 :13 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ." We love you Elder Michele Fisher and Family
Our sincere condolences to the Taylor Family, wife and children. Sorry for your loss, but know that our prayers are with you all.
What a blessing to have known Pastor Larry. Our family knew him from the church as well as the secular world. He and my father had many of the same clients over the years when he worked in the car dealership and our family business with Allstate Insurance. Always a gentleman. He and Pastor Jackie are what I considered to be an inspiration to young couples as they journeyed through marriage with Jesus guiding them. We will be praying for the entire family and congregation as well for God's perfect peace as you move through the next days without him present here on earth. So glad to know that he lives in heaven now and completely healed. Tracy and Chris Gentry

Pastor Taylor was awesome teacher of the word of God. I received healings in my body from his prayers with annoiting. He was my pastor for 22 years and I have grown spiritually from it.

Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to the family"....
He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten! My parents lived in Havelock and went to his church, every time I would visit, even though it would only be once or twice a year he would always creep me with the biggest smile and remember my name! He would remind me of how special I was and never failed to joke around about me, moving there to help in the church! I love the way that he taught and preached. He was a true man of God. He practiced what he preached that he lived God daily! He was always so humble and loving. Even when I met him for the first time, it felt like I had known him for years. I was so blessed to have met and have known him. His knowledge of the Word and whether that he would break it down will forever be an impact on me and my life! I know that you are rejoicing in heaven! Fully healed and no longer in pain! Love you so much! The Morales family will continue in the ways you've taught us!
My heart is saddened by Larry's passing. I loved working with him and was very Blessed to call him my Friend. May he Rest Easy in the hands of the Lord and have Everlasting Life in the Land of Paradise! God Bless you and your Family, Jackie!
It has been an honor to sit under the teachings of pastor Larry Taylor for 22 years. He was a man that walked by faith and he taught me how to walk by faith and not by site. I have learned so much from his teachings. He didn't just tell you how to, he showed you by the word. I will be forever grateful for you being in my life. You are #1 pastor Thank you.
We are so grateful to have known Pastor Larry my friend. He meant a lot to us he and Jackie. They treated us with nothing but love and that's something we will never forget. I know it's hard now but our comforter will keep the family in his Godly peace. We will miss him but we know he's in a better place now, he's in the face of Jesus. God bless the family and we love you all.
Sending our deepest condolences and prayers to the family. May God continue to comfort and strengthen you during this difficult timeππ½ππ½
Jackie, I am devastated at the news of Larry's passing. I consider him a true friend and brother. I cherish the many memories of the years we worked together and the times we shared. My condolences to you and your family and may he rest in peace.
My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the Taylor Family. Pastor Taylor's presence, guidance, and faith-filled leadership will be profoundly missed by all who were blessed to know him. May you find peace and strength in the promise of God's Word: "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8, NKJV). May the Lord surround your family with comfort, hope, and His abiding love during this time of sorrow.
Revelation 21:4 " And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
My condolences and heartfelt prayers To The Taylor Family. This is so very hard to write. Pastor Taylor will be dearly missed. He has taught me so many valuable lessons on Faith and Love. Sitting under his teaching at Fountain Of Life Ministries has had a profound impact on my life that I will continue to practice daily ( Pastor Taylor would not have it any other way). Pastor Jackie and The Taylor Family I love you so very much. Veronica Haynes
