Meet Our Pastors
Meet Our Senior Pastor
Born and raised in Roanoke, Alabama, Pastor Scott Whaley grew up at Faith Baptist Church, where he later married his wife, Stephanie. He began serving in ministry early, taking on roles such as song leader and associate pastor while raising their first two children, Savannah and Slay.
In 2007, he followed God’s call to pastor another congregation, where he served for seven years, welcomed their third child, Sadie, and earned his Bachelor of Theology.
In 2016, Pastor Scott returned to Faith Baptist as senior pastor. One of the most meaningful parts of that journey was the privilege of pastoring his grandfather and mentor, Otis Hodnett, in his final years.
Under his leadership, God has continued to bless both the church and his family, and Pastor Scott remains committed to leading with humility, love, and unwavering faith.
Meet Our Junior Pastor
Slay Whaley serves as the Junior Pastor and Choir Leader at Faith Baptist Church, where he’s honored to work alongside his dad, Pastor Scott, and follow in his footsteps. With a heart for people and a passion for worship, Slay brings joy, humility, and dedication to every part of his ministry.
He and his wife, Shalyn, are proud parents to their son, Stetson. In just over a year of serving, Slay has already become a vital part of the church leadership—faithfully supporting the work of the ministry and helping lead the next generation in faith and service.
His love for the Lord and the church is evident in all he does, and we’re grateful for the calling God has placed on his life.
