The Dockery Family

Ken and Renee and their four children live in South Euclid, Ohio.  Throughout their lives they have been interested in and supportive of church planting ministries.  For six years Ken pastored a church in Kreamer, PA.  During this time, Ken began having health problems that led him to the Cleveland Clinic for a second opinion.  In January of 2003, Ken, by God's grace, walked out of the Cleveland Clinic after receiving a double heart valve transplant.  God used this event in Ken's life to burden his heart for the people of Cleveland.  The Dockery family has been on full-time deputation with Continental  Baptist Missions since May of 2005.  

The Taylor Family

Bill and Natalie live in the Old Brooklyn section of Cleveland, Ohio with their five children.  Bill is a Christian school principal when the family is not on the road raising support for their church planting ministry.  The Taylors have had a heart for urban ministry since serving in inner-city Philadelphia during their college days.  However, God took them back to their home area of central Pennsylvania for ten years.  During this time Bill was a public school teacher, high school coach and Christian school principal.  Both Bill and Natalie filled a number of ministry roles in their church under their pastor, Ken Dockery.  This culminated in Bill's ordination and their relocation to plant a church in downtown Cleveland with Continental Baptist Missions.
