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.”
