Smithville (Ohio) Brethren Church recognized the ordination of Scott A. Fetter as a Brethren elder on Sunday, January 14 2024. Scott’s wife Wendy was set apart as the spouse of a Brethren elder.

Participating in the service were leaders and elders of the Smithville church, the North Central Region, and The Brethren Church nationally. Pastor Art Carr spoke on “Celebrating Yes” and noted the many times Scott has said “yes” to the call of the Holy Spirit upon his life.

The church also celebrated several other significant events during the service: baptism and confirmation of six persons, ordination of eleven deacons, and installation of church officers, boards, and committees.

Scott serves as associate pastor of children and youth at Smithville. Prior to coming to The Brethren Church, Scott had served as a pastoral intern, church planter, associate pastor, and senior pastor in churches in multiple states.

Scott had previously completed the course requirements and examination of the North Central Region and the National Board of Oversight. He and Wendy live in Wooster, Ohio, and share four sons, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson.
