Scott is married to the love of his life, has nine wonderful children, and has lived in Medicine Hat for the past nineteen years where he has served as a youth pastor, young adult pastor, outreach pastor, and associate pastor. In 2010 Scott also served as the interim Youth Ministry Coordinator for all three of the Medicine Hat Catholic parishes, and for the Medicine Hat Catholic School Division. In 2002 he founded the radio station CJLT 99.5 FM (currently Praise 93.7 FM) and was awarded "Best New Business of the Year" by the Medicine Hat Chamber of Commerce and Entre Corp in 2004. Though Scott sold the radio station in 2007, Scott has stayed on the air as the current afternoon announcer for 93.7 Praise FM.
In addition Scott has been very active in local community organizations such as the Medicine Hat Youth Action Society, Saamis Immigration, Restorative Youth Justice Commission and helped found the Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee with Mayor Garth Vallely in 2005. Scott has also recently served on the Medicine Hat Area Refugee Team, which represents several churches that are working together and mobilizing volunteers to help relieve the humanitarian crisis in Syria by offering care and support to those relocating to their community.
Over the years it has become apparent to Scott that our modern understanding of what the "Church" is and what it is called to be, is very different than how it is described in the New Testament. With his ministry and strong community background, he is working with both small and large groups of people within Medicine Hat; youth, young adults, families, essentially any and all, regardless of who they are or where they are in their faith or life journey, many who do not attend traditional churches, but are hungering for Christ and for a sense of Christian community. With his work through the radio station (93.7 FM), and his involvement in the community, there are many outreach opportunities to bring the Gospel message of Jesus to all, without any sectarian boundaries.
