About Rev. Dr. Scott Owings...

Scott is a priest, spiritual director, and professor. In addition to overseeing the CCJ, Scott leads a yearly pilgrimage to Botswana to assist Holy Cross Hospice in their work of relieving suffering from those who have HIV-AIDS. Scott has also worked as a Hospice Chaplain as well as a missionary in Eastern Europe from 1988-2000. Scott was ordained to the priesthood in 2015 and has been serving at St. Augustine's since that time. His areas of involvement include spiritual direction, preaching, pastoral care, leading the contemplative Eucharist, chairing the CCJ, overseeing our graduate interns, and is the point person for our efforts in Botswana. (And anything else Becca doesn't want to do!) Prior to Scott's coming to St. A's, he worked as a Hospice Chaplain, Missionary in Eastern Europe, and Professor of Missions and Ministry at Lipscomb University. He is married to Lisa and they have three adult children: Alex, Eric, and Joy. For fun, Scott loves to explore the mystery of dreams, drink coffee, and talk football and contemplation.
