Scott knew his calling to ministry at a young age.  A graduate of Houghton College and University of Rochester, he has spent much of his professional career as a teacher.  His passion for spiritual wholeness led he and Ana Maria to Singing Waters Ministries where they were trained in Christian counseling.

Shortly after came the inspiration to write and publish Love, and Do What You Want: A Pathway of Spiritual Honesty, which has encouraged people worldwide (via the free online version of the book) to draw closer to God while pulling away from the entrapments of legalism.

Scott and his family have made their home in Fredonia, NY, where he serves as pastor of

The Beacon Church of Chautauqua.

Beacon Church.

Prior to answering God’s call to music ministry, Lisa was a personal fitness trainer for thirteen years and owned an exercise studio for women in Fredonia/Dunkirk.  She shares her testimony of God’s goodness and the healing in her own life through her songs and poetry.  The music that God allows her to create is borne of a passion for the lost, for the brokenhearted, for those in need of healing.  Lisa and her husband of 19 years, Steven, are the parents of five children, ages 8 to 18.  Lisa and her family are at home in Fredonia, NY, where she serves as worship leader of The Beacon Church of Chautauqua.  A sampling of her music can be found HERE.
