with them and spends time in fellowship with each one as God leads.
Minister Scott is also responsible for leading our New Member classes

biblical study. Minister Scott is active in multiple community

Conference, the Louisa Faith Coalition, and the Spirit of Truth

Minister Scott’s desire is to teach and preach in such a manner
that makes the Word of God plain and relatable. One of her favorite
Bible verses is Philippians 3:14, “I press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
