NATALIE SCOTT
LEAD TEAM
ASSISTANT CHILDREN’S & YOUTH COORDINATOR Pastoral Assistant
“I felt a deep void in my life and was tired of the anxiety, stress, and anger. God placed a dear friend, Christa, in my life, who was very strong in her faith. As our friendship grew, God pulled on my heart to draw near to Him. His love and patience for me to draw near to Him never faded. Christa was a bright light that led me to the Lord. After receiving Jesus as my Lord and Savior, my life began to change. God healed my heart and brought peace into my life that I never knew existed. What’s even more amazing is that peace spread throughout my home.”

Stephanie Lee
hospitality COORDINATOR
“Do not conform to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” Romans 12:2
At the age of 16, a high school friend was bold enough and shared the Good News with Stephanie and invited her to a youth night at church. She experienced the fire of God and was baptized with the Holy Spirit during her teenage years. As years went on, Stephanie stepped away from the will of God and begin to struggle with purpose and vision for her life. While feeling a nudge in her heart that there was more to life, Stephanie prayed to find a Bible preaching Holy Ghost Church in Buffalo. During an outreach in 2023, Stephanie met Pastors Kevin & Joe’l and was invited to Life Worship Church. Stephanie fully submerged herself in the things of God and planted herself in good soil at LWC. Because where you are planted…you FLOURISH! Her life has completely changed, and she now walks in the authority and freedom of Jesus Christ, serves God, her church and community.
Stephanie enjoys raising her son who has also been saved by our Savior. She is an artist who enjoys painting, cooking, anything creative, traveling and connecting with others.
Stephanie is a true testament that if you allow God to transform you, He will make you NEW in Him!
To reach Stephanie you can email her at: hospitality@lifeworshipchurch.org.
