Rev. Scott Hardin-Neri – May 25th

Rev. Scott Hardin-Nieri is partner, dad, spiritual director, pastor, and sojourner. He currently works as the Co-Minister of Green Chalice of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a ministry of Disciples Home Missions, and the Director/Minister of Bethany Congregations, a ministry of the Bethany Fellows, with people and communities who are loving one another, their neighbors and creation. He has previously served as the Director of the Creation Care Alliance, and is the co-founder of Eco Grief Circles. 

Scott received his undergraduate degree in Business Management from Texas A&M University, an MDiv from San Francisco Theological Seminary (SFTS) and has a Diploma in the Art of Spiritual Direction from SFTS. 

Prior to living in North Carolina, Scott and his family served in the vulnerable cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica, where he learned how to climb Fig Strangler trees, spot Two-toed Sloths, call like a Mot Mot, and listen to people and nature in a new way. Scott is an ordained pastor with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and enjoys accompanying people during transformative experiences. Scott continues to become aware of the deep connections among pollution, poverty, violence, racism, oppression, climate change, eco anxiety and the spiritual brokenness in the world.
