Team Rooted in St. Paul’s & Somerset

Our leadership team is shaped by the life of St. Paul’s Church, the rhythms of the farm, and the unique character of Somerset, PA. Together, we’re investing in young leaders who love Jesus, love the land, and love this community.

Scott Steltzer

Scott joined the staff of St. Paul's in the fall of 2018. He and his wife, Anna, have been members of St. Paul’s since 1999. During that same period, Scott served locally as an associate director at Summer’s Best Two Weeks. He continues to be involved with the camp in a part-time capacity alongside serving as an associate pastor at the church.


Anna and Scott have four children: Colton, Susie, Johnny, and Benjamin. Scott enjoys studying and learning as a means to better teach and pastor the hearts of others. He is eager to continue to grow alongside and serve the people of St. Paul’s as well as start the Highlands Fellows program.


Living in the Laurel Highlands has afforded Scott the privilege of pursuing his passion for the outdoors. He enjoys hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking, hunting, and rock climbing but most of all, Scott loves how God reveals himself through all that he has created (Romans 1:20).


Scott graduated from Grove City College with a BA degree in history and secondary education, has his Master of Divinity degree from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and a Doctoral degree in educational ministries from Southern Seminary. His doctoral emphasis was the use of general revelation in discipleship.
