Pastor Carol Taylor, Licensed Lay Minister I've lived in Beloit most of my life, am married and have two grown sons. I was very involved in the merger process when First Presbyterian and Second Congregational came together to form United Church of Beloit in 2012. I use my administrative talent and photography hobby to promote the church activities on social media. I've served on the Leadership of the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (www.naccc.org) and am very involved in local church associations, Beloit Area Ministers and Beloit Coalition of Churches. My ministry is to help folks understand God's presence in every aspect of life, to share that divine Love, because to live our faith is the most powerful witness.
