Lexington, SC - Jan. 3, 2008 - Scott Vaughan will begin duties, Tuesday, Jan. 7, as communications director for The Harvest in Lexington, SC. The non-denominational, contemporary church is known in the community for its cultural diversity, innovative student and children's ministry, contemporary worship, and ministry to those in crisis.

 

The part-time position will not affect the ongoing growth and expansion of Scott Vaughan Communications, which serves more than 2,000 congregations in three continents.

 

"The Harvest is one of the great ministry success stories in the Columbia, SC area," Vaughan said. "Pastor Ken Jumper followed God's leading in his life, and God has blessed that obedience with a church focused on helping people discover Jesus and walk closer with him. The church's growth, which has led to new facilities and expanded ministries, now requires more intentional focus on communication strategy. Creating and managing this communication effort will be an exciting challenge for me."

 

Vaughan will work closely with pastor Jumper and church administrator Darrell Roland. Roland is president of the Carolina Chapter of the National Association of Church Business Administration (NACBA).

 

Vaughan will maintain his membership and leadership role at Lexington Baptist Church, Lexington, and will have schedule flexibility to speak for organizations and work on-site with churches. At Lexington Baptist Church, Vaughan is a deacon and discipleship teacher.

 

Vaughan recently accepted invitations to speak at ChurchWorks 2008 in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada and at Worthington Christian Church in Columbus, OH. He will be speaking at a Central Virginia Baptist Association seminar, Saturday, April 19 in Charlottesville, VA.
