Pastor
   Scott Parker

Pastor Scott Parker is, above all, a sinner saved by the grace of God. Throughout his life, he has faced struggles with addiction and other vices, but the Lord rescued him and revealed to him the true joy found in glorifying God. Now, Pastor Scott is dedicated to sharing the Gospel and spreading that joy to as many people as possible before he leaves this earth for eternal life.

​

Pastor Scott holds a B.A. in Religion and Ministry and an M.A. in Apologetics from Luther Rice College and Seminary, and he is currently completing his Master of Divinity (M.Div.). He previously served as a Youth Pastor for three years at a church in Johnson City and worked with Appalachia Service Project. Today, he serves as the Executive Director of One80, Inc., a spiritual development program for young men  coming out of addiction and incarceration. Through spiritual training, job preparation, life skills development, and sober living, One80, Inc. provides the tools necessary for transformation and success—all rooted in the love of Jesus Christ.

​

Pastor Scott is happily married to Nikki Parker, whom he readily credits as the "brains behind the operation." Their family was blessed with the adoption of their baby girl, Sadie Tess, a journey they can only describe as a miracle from God. He also has a son, Duke, who lives in the Chattanooga, TN area, and whom he loves and misses greatly.

​

When he’s not working, Pastor Scott enjoys spending time with his family, Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, and sneaking in a round of golf whenever he can. He and his family are grateful for the many blessings God has given them and pray for the opportunity to share those blessings with you.
