His understanding of the Bible grows deeper and richer as he reads, studies, teaches, discusses the Scriptures, and most importantly, depends on the Holy Spirit to give him spiritual insight.
Pastor Scott and his wife, Billie, live in the Metro Memphis, Tennessee, area, where he is the pastor of The Church at Schilling Farms in Collierville, Tennessee. They have three children, Jason and his wife, Toni; Amanda and her husband, Todd; and Allison and her husband, Bobby. They also have nine grandchildren.
After obtaining his undergraduate degree and his master’s degree, Pastor Scott received his doctorate of theology from Andersonville Baptist Theological Seminary. His ministry spans forty years, and he has been the senior pastor of his current church since 1990, when he founded it. He is the kind of pastor everyone wants! He is an excellent preacher, teacher, shepherd, evangelist, missionary, writer, leader, and follower of God’s leading. He is an encourager, a worker, and a friend who is quick to give grace, ready to help, and has a heart of empathy, all of which the Lord uses to draw people closer to Himself.voir moins
