Jacquelyn E. Scott was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and now lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She attends the Church of God (7th day)/Lafayette Street, serving as a board member, treasurer, and legal representative. She has 3 grown children and 15 grandchildren, including 3 foreign-exchange students. She is recently retired from a receptionist job and is a volunteer with the American Cancer Society on the ‘Relay for Life’ leadership team, and as a Cancer Action Network area representative, advocating for legislation that will help those fighting cancer. She also volunteers as a certified, small-group facilitator for Living Free Recovery, sponsored by Connection Points Ministry. She received an Associate of Science in Human Services from Ivy Tech in 2011 and earned a certificate in Christian Leadership from Artios Christian College in 2017 and is currently working towards a bachelor’s degree in that field. As a result of an online discussion during the ‘Church and Mental Health’ semester of her studies, Jacquelyn has started an initiative, Healthy Minds=Healthy Churches, to facilitate the coming together of mental-health providers and churches to work together to help end the stigma of mental illness, and to promote mental, emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual wellness in her local community.
