Assessment

Grace Baptist Church of Taylors is a Reformed Baptist church at 300 E Main St, Taylors, SC 29687. Pastor Nicolas Alford. Listed on SermonAudio and was seeking a co-pastor through Founders Ministries — both strong indicators of Reformed Baptist / Founders-friendly theology (1689 London Baptist Confession likely). Note: There is also a separate 'Grace Church' (grace.sc) with a Taylors campus — these are different congregations. Reformed Baptist identity is a strong positive for doctrinal fidelity. Founders connection is excellent.
