Jeremy scott

Lead Pastor


Jeremy thinks of himself as a testimony of God’s patience, mercy, and grace. He grew up in a Christian home and at an early age had the desire to pastor a church. With this resolve, Jeremy entered Bible college after high school and earned a B.A. in Biblical Studies. His postgraduate work has led to two Master’s degrees (M.A. & M.Div., both in Theological Studies) and a Doctoral degree (D.Ed.Min - Leadership) from Southern Seminary.

Jeremy is not originally from Wisconsin. Growing up in the Detroit area of Michigan has caused him to be an avid fan of the University of Michigan – a shortcoming the church is mostly gracious to overlook, while still seeking to convert him to a Badger fan. 


Jeremy's favorite activity when not working is to spend time with his best friend and wife, Anouk, as well as with their daughter, Michaela, and son, Isaiah.
