Meet Our Ministry Team

Scott Holder
By God’s grace, I was brought to Lord of Life in June 2021 to serve as Senior Pastor. My family and I are excited to partner with God’s people in sharing the good news of Jesus and God’s grace into the community where we are placed. I am humbled to be a part of the ministry team here at Lord of Life.
My family consists of myself, my dear wife Carrie, and our children, Rachel and Aaron. We call ourselves a national family, as I am from Texas and Carrie from Minnesota. Rachel was born in Utah and Aaron was born in Georgia. We love spending time together as a family and enjoy a lot of different activities.
I am a graduate from Texas Tech University and a two time graduate of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis (Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry). I have been blessed to serve two congregations previously, one in Logan, Utah, and the other in Lilburn, Georgia (outskirts of Atlanta). I also served as an Admissions Counselor at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis prior to arriving at Lord of Life.
I enjoy running, reading, and talking with people. I have a passion for learning and enjoy teaching. I love working with children of all ages, and hearing the stories of how God is at work in the lives of people.

My wife Kari and I have been married for 17 years and we have 4 children: Avery (12), Aiden (11), Adler (9), and Allie (7). We love all things outdoors, gardening, watching movies together, playing games, living in the country, and being a family.
I have a heart for families and missions and to see God use us in incredible ways. We are excited to be a part of the Lord of Life family and to serve the 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.

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 was born and raised in the Lutheran Church in Minnesota, and I believe Minnesota lakes are one of God’s finest creations. I love to water-ski, fish, paddle-board, and boat with my family. I also enjoy running, reading, traveling, and I always have at least one home improvement project going.
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 sports, construction, animals, and the outdoors. Philip and I enjoy fishing, hiking, and traveling. We also love spending time with our family and friends.

Cindy Shah
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.
