Rod Taylor is pastor of Scott Depot Christ
Fellowship. He has served Christ Fellowship since 1972, holding
positions of assistant, associate, administrator and now senior
pastor. He founded, organized and has been administrator of the
Teays Valley Child Development Center and Teays Valley Christian
School.
The Scott Depot Christ Fellowship has recently completed the
first phase of a large educational facility expansion and has
embarked upon a new adventure in ministry which the church calls
God's "Wheel of Fire." The "Wheel of Fire" is a model and a
vision for the church to glorify God by revealing God’s love and
fulfilling God’s purposes. The model sets forth the source,
center and power of all true ministry as the knowing of God in
spiritual experience.
Rod completed his Ed.D. from West Virginia University in 1987.
He serves the church with his wife, Marlene, his son Timothy, a
dedicated staff and a committed company of lay leaders.
Dr. Taylor has been an active participant in the Teays Valley
Ministerial Association for many years and has served as its
secretary, vice-president and president.

duets together. Larry served for a time on the Board
of Trustees and felt his call to the lay ministry.
In the fall of 1975, Larry felt God calling him to
"pack up, sell out, and come home to West Virginia."
Larry followed this leading and moved to Scott Depot
in January of 1976. Soon after he joined the staff
of Scott Depot Christ Fellowship as a lay minister.
Larry continued his work in the auto parts business
