Dusty Taylor - Land Surveying, Changing Congregations, And Church Technology
Dusty Taylor writes:
My name is Dustin, my family and camp friends call me Dusty. I am a have Associate in Applied Science in Land Surveying and that is what I do for a living. I grew up in the Walnut Grove Cumberland Presbyterian Church in the middle of nowhere Arkansas. My mother’s brother was our preacher, and my dad’s family has been attending since the start of the church in the 1930s. Also, my dad’s cousins are elders and the session clerk of the church. We moved to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Booneville when I graduated high school after my uncle had retired from preaching. My parents both have been elders at the Booneville Church. My dad’s cousin is Cathi Littlefield who was the interim for the Women's Ministry for the denomination and a previous guest on this podcast. I moved my membership to the 1st Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Russellville in October 2022 because it is 30 minutes from my house and I had been driving 1.5 hours to church for the last 14 years. Rev. Jim Fisk is the pastor and Melinda Reams is a member of church and serves on the Ministry Council. Both have been on your podcast.
From 2010-2012, I served on the first Young Adult Ministry Council (YAMC). YAMC started my love for ship cruises. I have attended church camp from 2006 and now serve on the camp board as the current chair. I love the outdoors, traveling, maps, and history. I have a 2-year-old adopted hound/blue heeler dog named Bleu. I have been working on locating old churches in Arkansas Presbytery and marking them on the map. You can find them and additional information at www.arpcpc.org. I serve as Arkansas Presbytery's IT and Communications Director that includes website, historical research and recording, virtual meetings, local church tech support, and social media.
