Us
We are the Skidmore family-Taylor, Caitlyn, and Ahavah! We are native Californians now living in Tennessee. We absolutely love Jesus and have gladly given our lives to follow Him. We both separately surrendered our lives to Jesus in 2010, even before we had met each other! Jesus profoundly transformed us.
We immediately jumped into our local church (at the same church) by showing up 4-5 times a week, serving, and doing life with our new spiritual family. Shortly after, we both strongly (yet separately) sensed God calling us to the Church in America.
For Cait, that looked like working with adults and children with special needs in various settings and then moving to the gang-ridden projects in San Francisco as a missionary. For Tay, it looked like serving in his local church on staff with the ministry school and leading local community and outreach in Santa Barbara. Then God brought us together!
We dated long-distance for eight months, got engaged, and were married four months later. The week after our honeymoon, we moved to Los Angeles for Tay to earn his Masters of Divinity, and so we spent our first four years of marriage at Talbot Seminary and pastoring at our church in Orange County. And then two years later, we moved to Tennessee and had our wonderful daughter, Ahavah Rae. Throughout our marriage, we’ve sensed the Lord stirring our hearts and calling us to serve His bride in America.
