About Scott Hanson

Scott Hanson, while flying from one end of the country to another interviewing with a couple of mega churches for an executive pastor position, was reading a book about the dynamic urban ministry environment of Memphis, Tennessee. Several weeks later he accepted a position with a church in Memphis: "I was captivated by the vision of this church and the evangelicals of this community for a city that leads just about every statistical crime category nationally." After a career in the corporate world, which ranged from being the Director of Human Resource Development for a $27B financial institution, to President and Chief Operating Officer of a promotional marketing agency owned by the world's largest advertising and marketing communications holding companies, Scott assumed his first Executive Pastor role with Max Lucado and Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. In 2003 under Scott's leadership, Oak Hills Church was recognized by the White House Office for Faith-Based Initiatives for their ministry within the barrios of San Antonio. Scott is a gifted manager, a catalytic leader, and a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary. Scott was the Executive Pastor of Second Presbyterian Church (EPC), Memphis, Tennessee and now resides in Dallas.
