Taylor Hagbo is the Intern Pastor at The Bridge Market and Faith Community—a coffeehouse/church in Saint Charles, Missouri, associated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This internship year will complete Taylor’s M.Div degree at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, California.

Before pursuing seminary, Taylor studied religion and evolutionary biology, worked at a Lutheran retreat center in his home state of Washington (Holden Village), and lived on a redwood tree farm in Northern California.

Taylor writes folk and pop songs about the Gospel and life in the 21st century. In July 2018, Taylor and three friends went on tour as ‘The Center Street Gospel Choir,’ playing at churches, bars, and backyards in the Pacific Northwest.
