William Taylor portrait

William Taylor (1821-1902)

William Taylor was a trailblazing American Methodist Episcopal missionary, author, bishop and global evangelist. His early career is synonymous with California.

Often compared to St. Paul, Taylor traveled far and wide, pioneering innovative approaches to missions for nearly half a century in places such as Australia, the Congo and South Africa. The self-sufficiency of churches in the field was his top priority.

He emphasized a “locally financed” church model that relied on local economies instead of overseas support; a methodology still used today.
