Jasper Taylor was installed in March as the new pastor of Broadview Missionary Baptist Church in the Chicago suburb. Taylor was chosen to succeed Marvin Parker after his retirement. Among a large group of local dignitaries present at the ceremony were Clarence and Lennis Hobson (seated, above). Pastor Hobson led Broadview during a prolonged period of growth that included building a large facility that serves as a landmark in the community. He also encouraged the church to be active in Southern Baptist life, including the local Chicagoland Association and IBSA.

Taylor, pictured with his wife, Valerie, previously served St. Paul and Greater Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church as executive pastor. He has led local choral organizations in Chicago.

IBSA Executive Director Nate Adams and his wife, Beth, were in attendance at the installation service.
