Elder/Lead Pastor
Scott has been in local church ministry since 1996 and served churches in Ohio and Illinois before settling in East Tennessee and beginning at First Christian Church in March 2003. His B.A. is in Bible/Theology/Soccer at Wheaton College (1995, Go Thunder!) and he has done graduate M.Div. studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Emmanuel Christian Seminary, and Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary.
He loves to connect people to Christ through a local church that equips them to grow through God's Word to become who He made them to be. This means helping to love, lead, and feed the flock to carry out Christ’s call in the Great Commission to preach the gospel and make disciple makers. Scott mostly just likes to read, think, write, and pray, but also to watch soccer (Spanish Barça “tiki taka” is how it should be played) and—strange as it may sound—continually reengineer his daily systems and rhythms into his backpack. If you're wanting to know more about his personal doctrinal/theological commitments, see here, at the bottom of fccgreene.org/beliefs. To read Scott's Thoughts, which is an FCC-focused blog that is usually monthly, (though he’s shooting for biweekly), go to fccgreene.org/st. For his Dad’s Daily(ish) Devos and less-FCC-focused content, he also has a Substack at scottwakefield.substack.com.
Scott and his wife, Dagny, met at Wheaton, have been married since 1997, and have three children, Sophia, Alden, and Emery. (Btw, Dagny’s name is pronounced “DAHG-knee,” with the stress on the first syllable and with a soft “a,” as in “father.”) She is an über-efficient Mom, homemaker, and Pediatric Social Worker at Niswonger Children's Hospital, serves in various ministries (like Kids Min for 20 years) and helping to care well for our people and leaders. To get to know her, Scott interviews her in this Coffee Convo.
Current Roles: Leads in Preaching, Teaching, Vision, Staff, and Scott's Thoughts (fccgreene.org/st), Weekly Bible Study Podcast (fccgreene.org/wbsp), Brown Bags & Bibles (fccgreene.org/bbb), Coffee Convos (fccgreene.org/cc), and Great Questions Answered (fccgreene.org/gqa). All aforementioned media/links are most easily found and curated on our FCC app (fccgreene.org/app).
