Pastor Scott Harvey

I am K. Scott Harvey, a graduate of United Lutheran Seminary with a Master of Divinity (M.Div.). My previous call was at a two-point parish in Sayre, Pennsylvania, serving both Lutheran and Episcopal congregations. During this time, I also began serving a Lutheran congregation in Horseheads, New York, as their Transitional Pastor. I also have experience working as a chaplain in hospitals.

In my current role as the pastor of this 6-point parish, my main responsibility is preparing the six congregations to look ahead to their future. I rotate preaching and presiding at two congregations a week, with the others having either a supply preacher or a lay-led service.

Each of the six congregations has its own style and traditions within the Lutheran Church. The strength of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America lies in the flexibility of its liturgy. A potential disadvantage is that what one is used to doing at one congregation may not be done the same way at another.
