Senior Pastor

Scott Distler

Scott was born and raised in Akron, Ohio and accepted the Lord as his Savior at the age of 5 through a Child Evangelism Fellowship Club taught by his aunt.  He graduated from High School in 1983 and then attended Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA where he graduated in 1987 with honors as a Pastoral Ministries Major with a Minor in Greek .  He went on to get his Master’s Degree through Liberty’s correspondence program.


Scott spent his first 9 years in ministry as a Youth Pastor near Dayton, Ohio where his program twice received the “Youth Group of the Year” award in the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches.  He has also pastored growing churches in Indiana and Pennsylvania before coming to E-Free Church in March of 2011.  He has been part of mission trips to many parts of the world and helps to co-lead trips to Israel.  Scott’s greatest passion is to see as many people as possible reached for Christ through the local church.
