Grow Your Vision.
Leaders and churches today are facing a set of challenges and opportunities that may feel fresh and new, but the Bible tells us that "there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9). This means we have all of the examples and wisdom we need, for how to live and lead, right within the Word of God.
May our vision match His.

"Dr. Scott challenged me in multiple spiritual and intellectual ways, which motivated me to take action in ways that I would have never been comfortable doing prior. His passion for and teaching of, racial reconciliation has been life-changing for me, and if I could make even a portion of the impact that Dr. Scott has, I would be grateful."
Dan Hayes
"josh Scott is a minister of integrity and impact. Integrity is first- what he says, he does….no” trafficking in unlived truth” here. Impact is the result- immediate impact in people’s lives because they grow closer to God and to each other, and then impact through those people as they follow Josh’s example and touch others in the same powerful ways. I know all this is true because not only have I known and observed Josh for many years, but also I am one of those he has impacted deeply."
Rev. Joseph Howard, Sr.
" Dr. Scott takes his calling seriously and does everything with excellence. Moreover, in addition to being a good preacher, he is also a good person. Rarely these days do you find that combination. I consider myself blessed to call him a friend, a brother, and a teammate."
Keith Harmel
" When I moved to Atlanta, GA for graduate studies, it was difficult at first to feel at home in a brand new place. Thankfully, I became involved at the church Pastor Josh Scott ministered at, and he played a key role in my continued spiritual growth in that time. As pastor to the young adults, he was a leader who consistently challenged us and also provided much-needed encouragement and humor. Although I’m now back on the West Coast, I will always cherish the friendship and mentorship Josh has brought into my life."

“Dr. Scott possesses the unique combination of solid theological training, the ability to think creatively, and a pulse on where things are in culture. That combination makes for an incredible trifecta for anyone in ministry! Working with Dr. Scott has been encouraging, challenging, and inspiring. He has great ideas, he works hard, he cares deeply for those who are hurting, and he has a track record of actually doing stuff that matters.”
