Scott Keele

I was born in Midwest City, Oklahoma to Bill and Kay Keele. My father and mother have spent their lives glorifying God through full-time church work, so I grew up a PK (preacher's kid). We then moved to Arkansas during my preschool years and later to Fort Worth. From Fort Worth, we moved to Dallas where I graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. After high school (and a summer spent in Plainview, Texas), I attended and graduated from Oklahoma Christian with a degree in Religious Education.

Upon graduation, I accepted the Minister of Education position here with this church family in January 1987. That is not a typo—it is an honor to continue serving the Lord with this church for decades. During this time, my job description has evolved to many things: Teaching and Learning, Kids Kare, Worship Planning, Iron Sharpens Iron (an Adult Bible Teacher Training Experience), Ukraine Missions, and The Fortress, to name a few. With this expanded role, my title has changed as well and is now Associate Minister.

My wife, Kim, and I have been blessed with a long marriage and three wonderful children. Our son, Addison, is pursuing a Master of Divinity at Harding School of Theology and enjoys music and soccer. Our daughter, Hailey, studied Graphic Design at Harding University, loves art—especially drawing and painting—and is married to her college sweetheart, Gib Smith. Our youngest daughter, Macy, enjoys playing the piano, drawing, and spending time with our many pets. All of our kids also enjoy playing Xbox with their dad... and yes, I let them win (like I could help it).

A special emphasis you will find here within this body of believers is an importance placed on family, relationships, God's Word, and His Will. We strive to connect all of these together through our worship, our Bible classes, and our service to Him. May our lives glorify God in all that we do and all that we are!
