Scott has been our pastor since August of 2003. He grew up in Milwaukee and is still proud of his Wisconsin heritage and the Green Bay Packers. At Michigan State University, he earned a degree in biochemistry and worked briefly in that field. As a Presbyterian Volunteer in Mission, he taught English and science in Egypt for two years.
It was a life-changing experience, deeply shaping his faith and his world view. The powerful faith of the Egyptian Protestant Church, as well as friendships with faithful Muslims, led to his call to ministry and an ongoing commitment to the Middle East and to building bridges with other cultures whenever possible.

After graduating from San Francisco Theological Seminary in 1990 with awards in preaching and general academics, Scott spent a year in Morocco, teaching and working on Christian-Muslim dialogue. On his return, he served churches in Ithaca, NY and Kankakee, IL. Scott speaks Arabic, and continues Middle East connections through an ongoing Egyptian-American dialogue project, and our presbytery’s mission partnership with the International Center of Bethlehem.
Education has been a continuing emphasis in his ministry, as well as community involvement; interfaith dialogue; mission; theology and arts (especially movies); and spiritual formation.
Living with his wife Candace and dog Django, Scott loves hiking in the southern Indiana woods, as well as movies, books and gardening.
