Rev. Mary Kay Scott - Pastor
Rev. Mary Kay Scott grew up in Maitland, Florida and earned her B.A. from Flagler College in Saint Augustine, FL with a double major in Religion and Psychology.

She was ordained in 1997 and has since served in congregations in the presbyteries of St. Augustine, Middle Tennessee, Central Florida and the James. Rev. Scott is passionate about connecting with people through worship, pastoral care and outreach, finding these the most life-giving parts of ministry. She is the proud mother of three young adult children, who along with her dog Freya, are the loves of her life. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, reading and spending time with friends and family.
