Scott and Chris Seaton both feel called to church planting and believe that God has uniquely shaped their backgrounds to prepare them for ministry in the metro DC area.

Before knowing each other, they both majored in political science, intending to work in the nation's capital. Instead, Scott entered the business world for a few years and then went to Japan as a missionary with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). After his term, he returned to Intown Community Church in Atlanta to oversee ministries such as missions, singles, small groups, mercy and outreach. After 14 years on staff, in 2001 he became the International Director of the PCA's new focus on Christian-Muslim relations.

Prior to having children, Chris worked for a foundation that helped non-profits achieve their particular mission. Her background and her gifts in hospitality will be invaluable for a new church. Scott and Chris have been married for 15 years and have three children, Claire, David and Audrey.
