AT CHRIST COMMUNITY CHURCH, we are led and pastored by Jesus Christ Who is the Pastor and Head of the Church. We are governed by a board which is made up of called elders, elected trustees, a treasurer and a clerk. We are led, taught, and shepherded by pastors & elders (under-shepherds). We are sheltered by the trustees, treasurer, and clerk . The church leadership is managed, supported, and kept accountable by the congregation, which includes the entirety of the active membership.

Scott Welch, under shepherd
Hello! I'm originally from New Orleans, LA, grew up in Slidell, LA, and have spent most of my adult life in Florida. I served my country proudly in the US Navy for 7+ years. At age 23, I became a follower of Christ and shortly after was called into pastoral ministry. My beautiful wife, Sherri, and I have been married over 20 years and we have one amazing son named Connor. I love being a foodie/cooking, reading, and spending time with my family which includes our dachshunds, Chewie & Molly. I also enjoy doing life with friends and extended family. I have a degree in theology and am currently pursuing further ministry education. My values for this life, which pour over into Christ Community Church, are very simple: Glorify God, Love people, and Tell of Christ's message of forgiveness.
I would love to hear from you. If you have any questions about our church, salvation, God, Jesus or if you just want to get together for a cup of coffee and chat about life, just call me at: 330-205-9257 or send me an email at: pastorscott@loveled.org
