Coaching & Discipling
John Scott III coaches men with a focus in career, family and life. John desires to serve as a catalyst in shepherding men in all areas of their journeys as well as assisting them in identifying their spiritual gifts and talents for the purpose of activating those gifts in the world for God’s glory.
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 advisory groups in various management and leadership roles. John has a passion for leading and helping men grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ. He spends his time at The Center facilitating several Bible studies for men in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. He also leads men in one-on-one coaching and investigative studies. These studies focus on topics and themes from Scripture relevant to the life of a man, in hope of equipping them to practically apply Biblical truth in day-to-day life. These weekly studies provide an avenue for men to “spur one another on” as brothers in Christ.
