Central Church, 118 W. Ashley, Jefferson City, MO 65101

Rev. Scott started her journey with our church as a supply pastor, and soon became part of our family. For three years, she has driven to Jefferson City once or twice a week from the Kansas City area where she lives. In her brief time at our church, she has become a fixture: attending meetings of the Council and various groups, delivering Communion to our shut-ins, mailing homemade birthday cards to members, interacting with other religious leaders in the community, and teaching the first Confirmation class that had been held at our church in several years. Along the way, she became our permanent part-time pastor, and a permanent fixture in our hearts.

Rev. Scott has made her physical mark on this church, from the painting of Sanders Farm that adorns the wall of the Parlor to the art prints of Isaiah that line the outer walls of the chancel. Until she donated that amazing series of prints made from copper etchings to us, and her husband Bob installed them, those walls were bare and empty. Now they are a testament to beauty and to the Glory of God, and we wonder why we never thought to put anything on them before.

Most importantly, Rev. Scott has made an impact on our lives, both mentally and spiritually. The three years that she has been here have not been easy ones… from the initial upheaval period during which she came, to the pandemic of the last seventeen months. She has dealt with every trial and tribulation with her steady resolve, leading us forward, all while knowing that at any moment the Search and Call Committee could present a candidate for the permanent Senior Pastor position. That is leadership, character, conviction, and devotion…and Rev. Dr. Judith Scott possesses all of those characteristics in abundance. She has guided our spiritual lives with the exact same aplomb, never wavering in her role as shepherd of this particular flock.

Rev. Scott may be leaving our church to follow God’s calling at the next stop on her journey, but she will never leave our hearts. We wish you great joy and happiness, Judy. We’re thankful that your commute will be much, much shorter now. We love you!
