Scott Honaker
Pastor Scott grew up in West Virginia but since graduating from Concord University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Education has made his home in Virginia. He began working as a teacher in the public school system in 2006 and continued in that capacity until 2023. In 2011, he answered the call of God to become the youth leader at Laurel Hill Baptist Church. Scott was ordained as an elder of the church in 2014, and over the next nine years served in the roles of youth pastor and pastor for the Spanish speaking congregation. In 2023, God called him to step away from his job in public education and become the lead pastor at Laurel Hill baptist church.
Scott has a passion for teaching God’s Word to children, teengagers, and adults, as evidenced in the active role he continues to take in a variety of ministries. He finds great joy in investing in the lives of the people God has called him to serve. His desire is to help them find their hope, purpose, peace, fulfillment, and joy in Jesus as they devote themselves to loving and worshiping their Savior!
He enjoys studying God’s Word, fly fishing near his home in Madison, rooting for the Chicago Cubs, and spending time with his family. He shares the ministry with his wife, Katie, and his two children, Hannah and Eli.
