Florida-Ohio Partnership Assists Cayman Brac Island Church In June, Pastor Audley Scott retired from Hillside Chapel Baptist Church in Cayman Brac Island. However, since then, he has not been able to identify a successor for the ministry that has captured his heart for well over 36 years. By Dr. Gerald Saffo, retired pastor, United Faith Community Church, Reynoldsburg
Through the relationship of Jeffery Singletary, Central Florida regional catalyst, and Reggie Hayes, SCBO di- rector of convention relations, the two came together and contacted me as someone who understands the im- portance of finishing well from full-time pastoral duties, while supporting the congregation. I am retired from full-time ministry at United Faith Com- munity Church, Reynoldsburg, and stepped in to help Pastor Scott and Hillside Chapel during this season. I have spent time communicating with Pastor Scott, and have recently served as the interim pastor for Hillside Chapel. I have been a senior pastor for well over 32 years, serv- ing on the board of GuideStone Financial for seven years, where the mission is to serve the pastor at the crossroads. It’s exciting to see what the future will bring for the congregation and Pastor Audley Scott as they ’Set the
Stones,’ (1 Samuel 7:12), for the future of Hillside Chapel Baptist Church. For more information about the senior pastor position, contact: Pastor Audley Scott, Hillside Chapel of Cayman Brac, Hillsidechapel@gmail.com or Scottaud@candw.ky, +1 (321) 252-2277.

So You Want to Advertise in The Messenger?
Did you know that you can advertise your church’s event in The Messenger ? The Messenger is more than telling stories of how God is working; it’s also about connecting churches, leaders, and ministries all across Ohio. And one of the best ways to do that is through sharing your events and opportuni- ties! There are certain standards and guidelines we ask ev- eryone to follow when advertising. These guidelines are not here to stifle creativity, but to make sure the story of the gospel shines clearly and beautifully. They’re the framework that lets your ad or event announcement sing in tune with the bigger story of what God is doing across Ohio. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” If our meal times can glorify him, then surely our fonts, logos, and messenger ads can too. For our advertisers, this means your message won’t just fill space; it will complement the bigger picture. We
want your ad to look its best, and that happens when it works hand-in-hand with The Messenger’s overall style. Consider it less about rules and more about teamwork. Together, we’re building something excellent, approach- able, and God-honoring. If you’d like to advertise in The Messenger or share your event, it’s simple. You can submit your information online at scbo.org/event-it or email us directly at messenger@ scbo.org. Full brand guidelines are available at scbo.org/ brand-guidelines, which will help you prepare graphics in a way that complements The Messenger’s style. Unfortunately, not everything submitted can be included. We do our best to fit as much as possible, but sometimes space or timing makes it impossible. The Messenger isn’t about fonts or margins; it’s about Jesus. And when every detail points to Him, we’re com- municating the gospel with clarity, creativity, and joy! At the end of the day, excellence isn’t about perfection; it’s about striving for excellence with what God has entrust- ed us, and that goes way beyond graphics and ads!
