Scott Marshall

Senior Pastor, Wichita First Church of the Nazarene

Scott was born in the beautiful Tea Estates of southern Malawi, the son of American missionaries. Wheeled out of the bush hospital birthing room in a mosquito-net-covered bassinet set the tone for his love of adventure and out of the box experiences and thinking. His early years were spent in Africa, his childhood among the corn of Nebraska. Scott is now a pastor of 26 years, and budding author. His purpose is building leaders for God’s Kingdom, a calling he approaches with creativity, relational heart, and possibility, big-picture, transformational thinking. He has served on staff at 3 churches and been the Lead Pastor at 3 churches (He is currently the Lead Pastor at the first Church where he served on staff). His intent is to listen to the heart counsel of Count Zinzendorf: “Preach the gospel, die, and be forgotten”, and life-counsel of Jesus: “bear much fruit”.
