Scott Cummings - President Who Am I: I'm blessed to be married to Carrie, and blessed with three terrific kids, Jake, Ben, & Caroline. I'm so excited to be here at Peace for Pearland! I can see great things happening here! I'm thrilled to be part of such a vibrant, dynamic, committed, faithful bunch of friends committed to serving a burgeoning arts community in Pearland. Where I'm from: I came to Pearland in 2010 from Conroe, where I served as an Associate Pastor. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 2002. I was born and raised in Houston and went to college and seminary in Austin. I spent many summers at Camp Cho-Yeh in Livingston,Texas, both as a camper growing up, and as a counselor and administrator. My wife, Carrie, grew up in Austin and we met in college at the University of Texas at Austin, where I earned a B.A. degree in psychology. Favorites: Food: My homemade fajitas, my wife's cakeballs, mint chocolate brownies with Bluebell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, street tacos at Emma's MexMex, and the chicken nachos at Killen's TMX. Where I see Peace for Pearland being a blessing in our community: Peace for Pearland was founded to create partnerships that will bless the overall art community in Pearland and beyond. We've already seen partnerships forming that will bring fruit in the arts community, such as the Second Saturdays for the Arts events held in conjunction with Peace Church, and the arts groups joining in events in the park like the huge Community Easter Egg Hunt held in 2019 at Southdown Park. Local arts groups have partnered in our golf tournament in 2019 as well and the art show was a big hit! The golf tournament benefited the Foundation for Creative Leadership arts nonprofit and we've also benefited the newly formed Pearland Chamber Orchestra in their inaugural concert in December 2019. These partnership have served to further the goals of enhancing the arts community in Pearland in mutual cooperation and will continue to do so in the future!
