Fishing and spending time outdoors are still things he loves to do.  As a senior at the University of Washington, he became a follower of Christ through the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU). After graduation, and a couple of years in the financial market, Mike decided to go to seminary in southern California at Talbot /BIOLA University. (He has also since earned a doctoral degree from Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois.) It was in California that Mike met his lovely wife, Holly. In November, 1986, they were called to serve at the E. Free Church in Morris, Minnesota, where their three adult children were born and raised. Mike was called to serve here at Faith Church in March, 2006. He has a heart for the church to become prayer-filled and mission minded. He will tell you that we have a great opportunity to invest our lives in eternal things, while we carry out our day to day calling of loving God fully, and serving those whom He puts in our path.

He got called into ministry from a desire to have authentic, intentional conversations with others about Christ. He wants nothing more then to see people that don't know Jesus  and for those that know Him to be IN AWE of Him everyday. Scott and his wife, Carrie, have seven kids (Isabelle, Elijah, Mathias, Clara, Samuel, Josiah and Asher) and most of their energy goes into putting their faith into action at home and modeling that to everyone that God brings into their path. He believes in being faith-rooted at home, authentic in community and resourced passionately from the church. He loves soccer, Stonehouse coffee, the book of John, MNUFC, biographies, Moleskin Notebooks, the book of Romans, Piggy Blues, fall, acronyms, the book of Ecclesiastes and students that don't play practical jokes on his car (affectionately known as the JellyBean).
