Background
John Scott III joined The Center in January of 2014 after a 14 year banking career at Regions Bank. Throughout his time at Regions, John worked in both the retail and wealth management groups in various leadership roles. John also served as bank president in Auburn, AL in 2005 and 2006.
Role at the Center
John has a passion for leading and helping young men grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ. He spends his time at The Center leading several Bible studies for men in their 20’s and 30’s. He also leads men in one-on-one coaching and investigative studies. In these sessions, John desires to serve as a catalyst in helping men identify their spiritual gifts and talents, and activate those gifts in the world for God’s glory.
Bible Studies
John currently leads Bible Studies at The Center for men specifically in their 20’s and 30’s. These studies focus on topics and themes from Scripture relevant to the life of a young man so that he may practically apply God’s truth in the day-to-day. These weekly studies provide an avenue for open discussion, deep reflection, and a place for me to “spur one another on” as brothers in Christ.
