Taylor Birkhimer

Youth Minister

Taylor has been a follower of Christ since he was 16 when a friend invited him to the Columbus Chinese Christian church in his hometown where he heard the true gospel, and the Holy Spirit moved his heart to convict him of his sin and see the joy of the life of a disciple of Christ. He was discipled by older brothers in Christ and began to serve the church as a volunteer. After a few years, the Lord called him to vocational ministry, and he graduated from Boyce College and The Southern Baptist Theological seminary in 2018. Taylor has been married to his wife Kylie since 2016, and God blessed them with their son in 2020. After seminary, Taylor served at the Chinese Bible Church of Greater Boston as the Youth Pastor prior to joining FCBC.

God brought Taylor to FCBC in 2024 to serve the youth and their families as the Youth Pastor. Taylor has a heart for reaching youth with the gospel, helping them see the beauty of the gospel, and growing in their faith as a disciple of Christ. God has given him this passion for reaching youth in part because the work God did in his own life as a youth.

In his free time, Taylor enjoys working out and training Brazilian Jiujitsu and taking his son on fun adventures. He is also a self-described foodie and enjoys trying new foods. If he's not eating, going on an adventure with his wife and son, or working out, he's probably reading something on philosophy or theology.
