Scott and Kristi married in 1991 and served as worship pastors for Scott’s father at Daystar for seven years. In 1998, Scott and Kristi were called to serve as worship pastors for Covenant Love Church with Pastors Al and Tava Brice in Fayetteville, NC. In the Summer of 2004, they heard the Macedonia call to return home to Daystar. From the beginning, Daystar Family Church focused on the love of God and the power of unity. The desire is to be a church that looks like heaven with all nations and a place of freedom for everyone.
On Father's Day 2020, Scott experienced what is known as a sudden-death cardiac arrest. After several minutes, the paramedics were able to revive and stabilize him. Due to the prolonged time period that his brain was deprived of oxygen, Scott experienced memory loss as well as many other symptoms. Scott is a FIGHTER and he has valiantly pursued health and wholeness on this journey. He has relearned basic things like walking, talking and everyday tasks. He is progressing in recapturing his memories and his cognitive abilities.
Throughout this journey that they are walking, they have motivated so many to keep fighting and pushing forward. Scott and Kristi stand on the promise that the supernatural love of God is what draws people to the Lord and brings healing, hope, and freedom.
Scott and Kristi live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and they have 5 beautiful children: Keithan (Danielle), Ethan (Alejandra), Noah (Emily), Isaiah (Kelsie) and Destiny, as well as their grandchildren Nehemiah, Elijah, Xander and Elowyn.
