Lead Pastor: Scott M. Collins

 

Pastor Scott and his wife, Lindsay, have been married since 2002 after dating during college where they often found themselves in youth ministry or serving others in various ministries. They lived in Virginia and Kentucky before returning to her hometown of Knoxville in 2011 to keep raising their growing family (Jacob, Addison, Caden) closer to their extended families. As early as his initial call to ministry, Pastor Scott has felt called to co-vocational ministry – serving local churches while also “tentmaking.” God has used this balance (tug of war?) to develop his calling and character in ways that would not have been possible otherwise. He has served in a variety of pastoral ministry roles over the past 20+ years while also building a career in business and software engineering leadership.
