Scott MacDonald

Youth and Outreach Pastor

Headshot of Scott MacDonald

Scott is married to Rachel (since August 2008) and they have two children; Zoe and Rory.

As you may have heard from some of Scott’s sermons, he has a keen interest in sport – however these days it’s more watching than playing!

Scott began working for the church in 2013 after a career in finance. As pastor for youth and outreach Scott is passionate about seeing young people come to faith in Jesus, for that faith to grow and for them to realise the radical life that we have been called to as worshippers of the King of Kings!

Scott also desires to see the church shine bright for the glory of Christ. The church has the privilege and pleasure of telling the world about Jesus! The church does that collectively and we also encourage and pray for one another as we share the good news in their own sphere’s of influence, to do that.

Romans 10:14-15 “But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about God?

Love


Favourite Bible character?

Paul. The power of God to turn a life around and use them for His glory and purpose is displayed so evidently in his story.


Pass times/Hobbies

I still enjoy playing the odd game of football, watching movies, watching any sport (a part from darts – that’s not a sport!)


Favourite Films

I watch way too many movies to be able to pick out one favourite, so here are a few. Back to the Future Trilogy, State of Play, Gladiator, Ground Hog Day, Indiana Jones Trilogy (there was no fourth film!!), Remember the Titans and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. I could go on, but won’t!
