John-Scott Young

Director of Early Education Center
I was blessed to join the Lord of Life family in 2016. It is an absolute gift to be a part of such an amazing school and team of teachers.
Prior to Lord of Life, I spent 9 years on staff at another church as the Director of the Early Education Center and Children’s Ministry. I’m passionate about teaching children Christ’s love, and helping parents bring Christ into all aspects of their child’s learning. I love the ever-changing mind and growth of preschoolers. Each day is an adventure!
I met my husband, Brent while at the University of Kansas and we were married in 1998. We have four children – Samuel, Charlie, and our twins Joe and Hanna Lee.

My husband, Philip, and I met in college and married in 1982. We are both native to Kansas. In our early years of marriage we moved every five years and have called Iowa, New York, and Indiana home. We have two grown children, three granddaughters and one grandson that I spend as much time as possible with.
I have a passion for animals, sports, construction, and the outdoors. I love to fish, hike, boat, camp, spend time with my family, and vacation with friends.

I joined the Lord of Life family first as a church member in 2008. In July of 2015, I joined the Lord of Life staff as the Elementary Coordinator, serving under Josh Keithley.
I have been married to my sweet husband, Neerav, for 16 years and we are blessed with two wonderful boys, Jordan (12 yr) and Micah (9 yr). I am originally from Athens, GA but have called Overland Park home since 2008.
I enjoy reading, music, and spending time on the lake with my family in Tennessee. It is a joy, honor, and privilege to serve Lord of Life kids and their parents.

My wife Kari and I have been married for 15 years and we have 4 children Avery (11), Aiden (10), Adler (8), and Allie (6). We love all things outdoors, watching movies together, playing games, and being a family.
For the last 3 years, our family served in Costa Rica with Christ for the City International. During our time there, we discipled ex gang members, drug dealers, prostitutes, single mothers, children, local church leaders and more. God taught us a lot during our time in Costa Rica including how to speak in another language.
I have a heart for families and want to see better, healthier marriages, biblical/spiritual parenting, being better fathers/mothers, and helping young people understand their calling.
We are excited to be a part of the Lord of Life family and to serve community in and around this church. We know the Holy Spirit is working in the midst of all this and we are honored to be a part of it. Dios le bendigas!!!

I began attending Lord of Life in 2010. At the time, I was an active duty U.S. Marine stationed at the Bannister Complex in Kansas City. I retired from the Marine Corps in 2014 and started working here as the property assistant in 2018.
I completed my undergraduate studies in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago and I hold a masters degree in Information Technology Management from Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. I enjoy designing and building things, from furniture to waterfalls and everything in between. I like being outdoors, hiking and playing in the woods. Cooking meals for the ones I love is especially satisfying.
I have three beautiful daughters and they are, by far, my best contribution for a better, happier world. I live in Olathe with my youngest, Maya, and a pack of rescue dogs. I enjoy binge watching TV and vacationing in the mountains.
