Taylor Daniel serves as the Kids Pastor at The Vineyard Church, where she brings passion, purpose, and a heart for Kids as not just a future generation of leaders in the church, but kids learning how to be friends with Jesus now. A lifelong “Kingdom Kid” herself, Taylor grew up at TVC and first felt the call to ministry during a mission trip to Mexico in 2006, a moment that ignited a fire in her for the nations, the lost, family restoration, and the fullness of God’s Kingdom here on earth.
Taylor met her husband, Augustine Daniel, at The Vineyard, where he served in Kingdom Kids before they met! The two married in 2020 and now share a beautiful life and mission together: To seek first the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33). They are proud parents to their daughter Ivy and son Oak.
Before stepping into full-time ministry, Taylor spent seven years as a public school teacher and instructional coach, specializing in ESL within Spanish bilingual programs. Shortly after she and Augustine became Kids Directors at TVC, it became clear that God was calling Taylor into pastoral ministry. She was ordained on August 9, 2021, and became the official Kids Pastor of TVC. Her heart beats for Acts 2 to be fully alive in Kingdom Kids, that every child would be filled with the Holy Spirit and grow up knowing the presence and power of God, choosing to be Jesus’ Forever Friend for all of their days. She can’t wait until every Kingdom Kid catches a passion for the Word (Bible) & Wind (Holy Spirit).
As the church, we believe serving is one of the ways we live out being the body of Christ. Each person bringing their gifts to help create space for others to encounter Jesus. In order for us to continue offering a safe, welcoming, and impactful Kids ministry, we ask parents whose kids regularly participate in Kingdom Kids to also participate in serving. We are so grateful for the way each person helps make this ministry possible!
