Father Scott is from Charleston, South Carolina and attended Furman University to study Chemistry and Religion.  After graduation he moved to Texas and served as a youth minister and school chaplain.  He graduated with an MDiv from Virginia Theological Seminary (where he met his now wife) in 2017, and was called to serve as Chaplain at Christchurch School – an Episcopal Boarding School in Tidewater, Virginia.  During the COVID pandemic, he returned to parish ministry and was called as Rector of Ware Episcopal Church — a colonial parish founded in 1652.  Scott’s passion in ministry is in revitalization and helping congregations live into their potential. He is currently a doctoral candidate at The Sewanee: The University of the South, writing on contemporary church trends, American society and structuring congregations for growth.  Scott is the newly called Rector at Christ Episcopal Church, Binghamton. Per Father Scott,
“Faith formation ultimately takes place in community.  We cannot do it by ourselves.  And for communities looking to pass faith onto the next generation, they must recognize the role of the family.  Parents are the primary evangelists to their children — and it is the Church’s role to support that effort.” Scott is an active father enjoying his children and loves to play pickleball.
