All of my life I have attended Scottsville Baptist Church. Church and Scottsville Baptist are synonymous with me. On Easter Sunday, 1955, along with two friends, one of whom is here today, I walked down the aisle to be received by Pastor John Elliott and officially joined the church and gave my life to Christ.

One Sunday morning many years ago we had a confrontational episode in Sunday School. It was haunting and worrying me greatly until the worship service as I waited in the back to help take up the offering I literally felt God's presence say to me "Don't worry, it's all going to be alright." Truly a burden was lifted from me...

I have seen God at work through our former pastors and I now see and feel God's presence in our pastor and the wonderful things that are happening in our Scottsville Baptist Church. I feel certain we can have another 175 years of successful and meaningful ministry in our wonderful, little town.
