MEET OUR   PASTORAL STAFF

Welcome to our website,

I am glad you stopped by. My name is Javier Taylor. I first heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and was convicted of my sin through the ministry of Ridgeview Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1975. Because someone was willing to drive a church bus down my country dirt road I had the opportunity to be born again. I met my future wife Crystal Lewis formally of Springdale, Arkansas on New Year's night 1989 and we were married on September 23, 1989. I served in the Army Reserve from December 23, 1983, until joining the active-duty Air Force in March of 1989. I had the opportunity to serve my country in Asia, Europe and stateside all together I served a total of 16 years in the United States military. I am a 1985 graduate of Farmington High School and a 2018 graduate of Bethany Theological Seminary of Dothan, Alabama. I am blessed to have a doctorate of Christian Education as well as undergraduate degrees in Electronic Systems Technology, Biblical studies, and Mathematics. I also hold graduate degrees in Education and Applied Statistics. I am currently serving as an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas. 

Crystal and I have lived in the River Valley since May 2004 and I have been blessed to served Bible Baptist Church as a deacon, treasurer, Sunday School Teacher and as Associate Pastor. I have also authored books on Christian living, and Mathematics education. You will find the our congregation loves people and has a sincere desire to serve our Lord Jesus Christ both in our services and in our lives and in our homes. Please come visit us for a service and see for yourself.
