Taylorville Ministerial Association is more than a group of priests. 

Pastor Curtis Franks is the president of the association. He says they act as an umbrella to multiple community projects. 

Pastor Franks says that the association assists in community organizations like the Taylorville Food Pantry, the Community Garden, and they assist in the bell-ringing around the holidays. 

There are others, including the Voucher Program and Safe Passage, that the ministerial association works heavily with. 

Pastor Franks says the ministerial association’s biggest focus is on the voucher program, which can provide immediate relief for folks and families in need. 

Occasionally, Pastor Franks says ministers are using their own funds to cover the cost of the Voucher Program. He is welcoming donations of any size. You can call Crossroads Church to make a contribution at 217-287-1041.

Pastor Franks appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
