A former carpenter, his other passions are 4WDing/Camping and travelling this vast beautiful country of ours, motorcycling, music and movies.
Of his ministry, Scott says, "I have a
deep passion for worship, mission and parish ministry. My understanding
of
church, ministry and my role as minister is empowered by my
understanding of
Christ’s love for this world the people of it and the church
communities he has
called together. My desire for the church as ‘the community of faith’
is that
we continue to nurture, support and equip each other within our
community;
reaching out to those in the broader community who are lonely and in
need
thereby embodying the Kingdom values as
lived and taught by Jesus.
I also
believe that as Christians we are called upon to maintain the church as
sacred
space where people can come, experience, get to know and worship God
(Father,
Son and Holy Spirit)."
Scott's induction service was held at
the church on Sunday 31st
January at 10 am.
