At the BCM, we have three ministers who are here to serve our needs and
act like surrogate-parents to each and every one of us. They each have
different qualities enabling them to lead us in different aspects of
ministry. If you ever need a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on, the
campus ministers are always here for you. And feel free to come by if
you ever want to have a friendly chat, go to lunch, or even just goof
off!
Franklin Scott
is our Senior Campus Minister. He is married to Georgia, a math
teacher at Clarke Central High School. He has two daughters, Shelynn
(25) and Stacey (20). He is a graduate of Francis Marion College and
received his Masters of Divinity from Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary. He coaches a BCM girls' basketball team, and the team has
won campus-wide intramural tournaments two out of the past three
years. Franklin is the resident "Dr. Luv," the matchmaker of the
BCM.
Feel free to come to him with all of your relationship problems!

time when she is not at some field or court watching her three boys
