Kate & Tom Taylor
Tom is a born and bred Jersey boy. After some serious running, wandering, seeking for meaning in life, he heard the good news about Jesus, and within a short time was convinced he needed to surrender his future to Jesus and follow him. College years in Indiana proved to be a time of getting to know God as Father, growing in faith, and receiving vision for life. Coming back to NJ after college and meeting his wife Kate they began their life together with one heart to serve God, which they have been working towards for the last 36+ years. Three grown sons, one lovely daughter-in-law, and a precious little granddaughter keep life fun and challenging.
Tom’s heart is to see men grow in knowing God’s will and grace for their lives. He currently works as a garden designer and enjoys creating gardens people live in.
Cindy & Ken Bills
Ken sees his life as an unfolding of God’s grace from beginning to end. Looking back, he can see God taking the initiative to call him from his earliest years. Ken’s childhood beliefs gradually became an adult faith as God continued to lead him into a fuller trust in Jesus as both his Lord and his Savior during high school and college. And since then, God has continued to call Ken into a fuller and richer understanding and experience of God’s inexhaustible, unfathomable grace.
Ken met his future wife, Cindy, at a college Christian fellowship, and they have enjoyed serving and growing in the Lord as husband and wife, partners, and best friends for more than thirty-five years. Together, they have experienced the joys and trials of parenting three children. They love animals, and their lives are enriched by their Labradoodle and two Cornish Rex cats. Better yet, they are now doting grandparents to two grandsons and a granddaughter. Cindy and Ken feel especially privileged when they are able to partner in ministry, especially teaching.
Ken loves worshiping the Lord through song, and he plays guitar and leads Windsor Chapel’s worship team. He believes that as we come before the Lord in worship, the Lord meets us in a unique way that can speak to our hearts and change us from the inside out.
Ken’s favorite Bible verse is from the gospel of John: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” In a world filled with lies and errors, prejudice, selfishness, greed and hatred, Ken believes that Windsor Chapel, at its best, is a place where God’s truth and grace, mercy, and love as embodied in Jesus are available to every person.

Bridget & Darrell Bernheisel
Darrell and Bridget have shared an incredible journey together: married for over 27 years and partners for nearly 35, having first started dating as high school juniors. Over the decades, they’ve grown as companions, friends, and steadfast supporters of each other’s dreams. Their story began in the small town of Carlisle, PA and has taken them across the country, with stops in New York, NY; St. Louis, MO; Charlotte, NC; Bloomington, IN; Hoboken, NJ; and finally West Windsor, NJ, where they’ve called home for 22 years.
Darrell felt the Lord’s presence early in life and accepted Christ during his elementary school years. Yet it wasn’t until becoming a father that he and Bridget chose to publicly affirm their faith, being baptized together in a Pennsylvania river at age 32. Parenthood deepened their understanding of grace and inspired them to live boldly in their faith. Despite walking with the Lord for many years, Darrell humbly considers himself a lifelong learner, approaching his spiritual journey with curiosity and openness. He draws strength from encouraging and uplifting others, especially during challenging seasons.
Together, Darrell and Bridget have been blessed with four children, ages 23, 21, 17, and 14, and a lovable (and delightfully silly) French Bulldog named Brooklyn. Darrell enjoys working out, skiing, smoking cigars, and cheering on his favorite college football team. Bridget is passionate about thrift shopping and runs a small but successful online resale business.
