Executive Pastor

Marc Scott

Marc stepped into the role of Executive Pastor at New Hope at the end of 2025, after serving as Finance Director since early 2024. Before that, he spent many years working as both a CPA in his own practice and as a Certified Financial Planner with Ameriprise Financial.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration – Accounting from Fresno State and a Master of Divinity from Moody Theological Seminary, with an emphasis in Biblical Studies. Earning his Master’s was the fulfillment of a long-held desire to deepen his understanding of God’s Word through formal study.

Marc has been part of the church finance committee since 2019 and joined the Elder Board in 2021. He and his wife, Charlotte, have been married since 2010. Together they have six children and eighteen grandchildren.

A verse close to Marc’s heart is 2 Corinthians 5:21: “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
