ABOUT US
We are a brand new, local church established to connect people to God, connect people to people and connect people to the mission.
What does that mean?
Simply put, our priorities are:
​
Connect People to God
Whether it be a one-on-one meeting or a public event, every aspect of Connect Rego Park Church is designed to point people to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
​
Connect People to People
Through our Connect Groups we desire to build authentic relationships that will enrich lives and develop your faith.
​
Connect People to the Mission
Although our primary focus is the community of Rego Park and its surrounding neighborhoods, it is our desire to begin churches in all five boroughs of New York City, connecting us all as a body of believers.
Worship with us Sunday at 2:00 pm
Location: 97-40 64th Ave
OUR TEAM
RON & SUSAN TAYLOR
Ron and Susan felt the call to urban church planting during Ron’s sophomore year at Baptist Bible College. After graduating and serving for four years at their sending church, they arrived in New York City in 2008 with a vision to plant 5 churches in each of the 5 boroughs of NYC. God has already used them in four works: two in Brooklyn and two in Queens. Knowing one of God’s greatest tools is the local church, they are excited about the team God has put together to reach the world through New York City.


​
Ron and Susan have two adult children: Noah and Ally. Their son, Noah and his wife Hope are serving the Lord in Springfield, MO and have two children of their own: Everleigh and Emery. Ally is serving the Lord with Connect NYC as their administrative assistant. Both Noah and Ally are currently earning their Biblical Counseling degree. Ron and Susan are enjoying the empty nest while savoring any spare time with their kids and grandchildren by sharing a common love for coffee and travel.

Jerra Jividen
Jerra has always had a heart for missions, specifically in the Kids Ministry. In February 2022, Ron and Susan Taylor were part of a mission conference at her church outside of Tampa, Fl.. While Ron was explaining the need for laborers (Matt 9:38), Jerra felt God burdening her heart for NYC. That fall, she had the opportunity to go on a missions trip to New York City to serve with the Connect NYC team. It was during that trip that God confirmed in her heart the call to join the team and use her passion to help their vision of planting 5 churches in each of the 5 boroughs.
