I bet you can think of some people who are going through a really hard time right now. Maybe it’s a friend who has lost a loved one, or a family member who was just diagnosed with cancer? Or maybe that someone is you! Afflictions and struggles are apart of life. With that said, In Christ we have a glorious future to look forward to in heaven. Pastor Ed Taylor believes keeping an eternal mindset is a key to living victoriously and making it through the suffering we’re bound to face.

About Pastor Ed Taylor
Pastor Ed Taylor serves as the lead pastor of Calvary Church in Aurora, Colorado, where he and his family have had the joy of serving since December 1999. Originally from Southern California, Ed came to faith in Jesus after a season of rebellious living and was discipled through the ministry of Calvary Chapel Downey.
Ed and his wife, Marie, have been married since 1989 and have three children. In 2013, their eldest son, Eddie, went home to be with the Lord. A loss that deeply shapes Ed’s heart for ministry to people who are hurting. They are proud grandparents to Eddie’s son, Levi, and a brand-new addition to their family arrived in May of 2026: Joshua’s son, Eddie.
Known for his transparent, real-life approach to teaching, Pastor Ed is passionate about helping people from every walk of life find hope and healing in Jesus. He teaches the Bible verse by verse, consistently pointing people to the grace of God and the sufficiency of Christ for all of life’s struggles. His heart is to encourage and equip believers, always reminding them: “The best is yet to come.”
