To glorify God by making disciples.

Scott Hunsley has been serving in ministry since 2006 and considers it a blessing and privilege to serve the Lord and His church. He and his wife, Shannon, have been married since 2005 and are the proud parents of three children. His family is an important part of his life, and he is thankful for the journey God has given them.

Throughout his years in ministry, Scott has had a heart for sharing God’s Word, encouraging others in their faith, and helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Scott spent 10 years serving as a Youth Pastor, where he enjoyed investing in the lives of students and helping them build a strong foundation in Christ. Since 2023, he has had the privilege of serving as the Senior Pastor of The Crossing. He has a passion for preaching and teaching God’s Word, helping people understand biblical truth, and encouraging them to apply it to their everyday lives.

One of Scott’s greatest desires is to see people grow spiritually and become devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. He believes the Christian life is about more than simply attending church; it’s about growing in a personal relationship with Jesus, becoming more like Him, and living out our faith every day. His heart is to help people take their next steps in their walk with Christ and equip them to share the hope of the Gospel with others.

Scott believes the church should be more than just a place we attend on Sundays. It should be a family where people feel welcomed, loved, encouraged, and challenged to grow in their walk with Christ. His desire is to walk alongside people through all seasons of life and see lives changed through the hope, grace, and truth found in Jesus.

Outside of ministry, Scott enjoys coaching sports, especially basketball and baseball. He also loves hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors. He’s an avid Chicago Cubs fan and enjoys following his favorite team. Scott has also worked as a carpenter and handyman for 30 years. He enjoys working with his hands, tackling projects, and fixing up the homes he and Shannon have owned over the years. He enjoys staying busy, spending time with family, and finding opportunities to help others.

Scott is thankful for the opportunity to serve as pastor of The Crossing and looks forward to seeing all that God has in store for the church and its people in the years ahead.

Scott and Shannon are usually in the lobby after the service, so come say hi.
