As Discipleship Connections Coordinator of Abingdon Bible Church, Scott fosters connections between our church and the community, between spiritually younger and more spiritually mature people for discipleship relationships, between people in our church family and opportunities for them to grow as disciples, and between people in our church family and ministries God has uniquely equipped them to serve in. He also assists ministry leaders and the Senior Pastor in carrying out their responsibilities and is responsible for ABC’s Life group ministry. Scott came to know Christ as Savior at the age of seven following a Sunday evening service in Butler, PA. With very little discipleship, Scott struggled to grow and resisted submitting his life to God’s leadership. It wasn’t until his early thirties that he fully yielded his life to Christ as Lord after his pastor at the time invested deeply in his life. Scott did not follow a typical educational path. He attended Baptist Bible College for one year and then attended one semester of community college before entering the full time workforce at a local steel mill. After nearly fifteen years at the mill, God led Scott and his wife Susie on a journey in which living by faith, not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7) was a constant reality. God used this to teach, refine, purify, and sanctify their lives. Scott and Susie have been married thirty-nine years. Together they have four adult sons: Tanner (Budapest, Hungary), Clayton and wife Cayla (Lynchburg, VA), Jesse and wife Cassidy (Waynesboro, PA), and Isaac and wife Makayla (Lynchburg, VA).
