Hunter Taylor
Director of Student Ministries
Hunter was born in Fort Lewis, Washington, but Alabama has been home for the most of his life. After a few years in Huntsville, Hunter and family moved here to Prattville in 2009. He is a graduate of Prattville Christian Academy, and Auburn University at Montgomery with a double major in Environmental Science and Geographic Information Systems. During his time in college, Hunter began to hear the Lord calling him into ministry. Through prayer, mentorship, serving and leadership opportunities, he surrendered to the call, and felt a clear calling to work with students and young adults, helping them grow in their faith and navigate life with Jesus at the center of it all. In his free time, Hunter enjoys working out, watching football, basketball, and NASCAR, reading, and spending quality time with friends and family!
