On Sunday, June 17th, Next Level Church took a huge step forward! If you were't able to be in church on Sunday, then you didn't hear the announcement of the newest member of the NLC Staff: Our New Executive Pastor, Scott Drummond. Scott is a veteran of ministry and has served as the Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church in Grove City, OH for the past 11 years. Scott actually grew up in that church and then took over as the Senior Pastor in 1996 upon graduating from Bible college.
Kirsten (Scott's wife) is a school teacher who works with Special Needs, Elementary Age kids. She was recently hired by Six Mile Charter Academy and will start this fall. Scott and Kirsten have 2 kids, Josh and Matthew (9 & 7). They were in NLC Kids yesterday and loved it! (Of course, we do have the best bag of candy ever for 1st time kids!)
Scott and Kirsten have been 2 of our best friends for the last few years. Sarah and I have vacationed with them several times and just love spending time with them! We definitely share a heart, vision & passion for ministry with them!!! It's amazing.
I believe the people a leader surrounds themselves with will make or break them on a number of levels. And I am so excited to be adding Scott to the NLC Leadership Team. His experience, passion & heart for people is going to truly take NLC to the Next Level!! Scott has a heart for people on an individual level that is going to be a huge asset to NLC! Scott will be transitioning in to the leadership of our Connection Groups at NLC! I know he has a huge vision for leadership development and multiplication!
I know that the Vision of Next Level Church is a huge one! God has given us a unique voice in Southwest Florida that we believe has the potential to speak into the lives of thousands of people in the coming years! I believe Scott and Kirsten are going to be a huge piece of that equation. They will be relocating in the next couple of weeks and then attempting to settle in to their new surroundings by mid-July. Be sure to encourage them if and when you see them around NLC!
The future looks bright at NLC... that's for blogging sure!
Matt

About
Matt Keller is the founding and lead pastor of Next Level Church in Fort Myers, FL. What began as 35 people in a movie theater has now grown into a prevailing and relevant church with over 2,000 regular attenders who are passionate about making a difference not only in Southwest Florida, but in churches across the USA. If you had to describe Matt in 90’s TV character terms, he would most resemble an extreme sugar version of Chandler Bing from the hit show Friends.

Dude...What a catch.
Scott is flipping cool, and I'm sure he'll be a great fit at NLC.
Congratulations on landing such a great find!
I have kept it quiet, but found out when I visited Scot's church in Grove City. Dick and I feel he will be a great asset and are really excited to see him join the staff. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all constantly. We will see you in October. Sharon
Hey you guys! I really miss Next Level Church. I have been keeping up on the "happenings" over there and it is great to see all the amazing things and the positive impact you are having on the area - I know Next Level had quite an amazing impact on my life and I thank you!!!!
You will continue to be in my prayers.
We really enjoyed Pastor Scott's message on Sunday. We are new to NLC (3rd time visitor and enjoying our Starbucks!) and our family always comes out of service pumped with a spirit that can only come from Jesus! We are grateful for such a vibrant church and we are happy to see it grow with amazing Pastors! And let me say NLC is the most friendly church we have visited to date here in Fort Myers! Thank you!
