Scott Keeble

Associate Pastor, Southwest Campus, scott.keeble@firstchurchchampaign.org

As the pastor of the Southwest Campus, Scott’s goal is to see our members be equipped and released to use their gifts to do ministry in the church and in the world. “One of my favorite things about FirstChurch is that we are strongly committed to trying new things. The multi-site approach to ministry is a great example of thinking outside the box. We are trying new things because we believe God has led us down this road. That’s an exciting place to be!”

Prior to moving here in August, 2007, Scott was the Families Pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Monrovia, California. His wife, Melissa, is also an ordained minister in our denomination. They have two adopted children and enjoy family service projects, such as sorting and distributing food with local soup kitchens.
