Alongside his wife Margo, he leads the Tri-Valley campus as well as the church’s expanding satellite groups in Fairfield, Brentwood, and Stockton. In his role as Director of Operations, Scott manages the complex logistical landscape that allows ministry to flourish on a massive scale—from coordinating weekly services to executing large-scale events at venues like the Shoreline Amphitheatre for thousands of attendees.
Scott’s approach to high-level coordination was forged on the track. A former state champion runner in Michigan, Scott took that championship pedigree to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he competed as a Division I athlete on the UNC track and field team. The strength of discipline required to compete at the highest collegiate level combined with his subsequent studies in the MBA program at the USF’s Graduate School of Management provided Scott with the ability to manage resources, lead diverse teams, and maintain excellence under pressure. For Scott, the transition from psychology and business to ministry was a natural evolution; his background in behavioral science and management now equip him to build a culture that is as operationally sound as it is spiritually vibrant.
Over their three decades of service and leadership in the Bay Area, Scott and Margo have built several of the BACC’s community service initiatives. Most notably, they launched BACC’s annual Holiday Toy Drive in 2008. What began as a single outreach effort has grown into a premier regional initiative, partnering with agencies like A Better Way and others in every county to provide more than 22,000 toys to foster children across the Bay Area.
As advocates for the special needs community, Scott and Margo founded the non-profit XCED, publishing a book for siblings of children with special needs that earned endorsements from the medical leadership at the Children’s Health Council.
Under Scott’s leadership, the BACC has established a vital partnership with the Office of Violence Prevention in Stockton to support those affected by gun violence. Scott’s vision for doing good extends directly into the heart of the community’s most pressing needs.
