About My Ministry
I am very involved in providing chaplain ministry to my community and throughout the world as an SBC-endorsed chaplain. Beyond my primary employment with a major hospital system, I also teach at numerous institutions ranging from Bible colleges and seminaries to medical and nursing schools on the subjects of chaplaincy, pastoral care and counseling, cultural competency, crisis intervention, and clinical ethics.
I volunteer my time working with local first-responder agencies and speak on a variety of topics at conferences throughout the country. Scott is also a founding member and Clinical Pastoral Education supervisor with Clinical Pastoral Education International, which is committed to providing quality clinical chaplaincy training to people throughout the nation and the world.

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard to reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
