First Baptist Church Cedar Hill

Rev. Scott Blair

Pastor

Scott Blair was called as pastor in March 1987. He and his wife, Dianne, have seen both of their children grow up in our church. Scott received his undergraduate degree from Dallas Baptist University and his Masters of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Scott practices the “survival of the fittest” lawn maintenance theory. “Throw it on the ground, and see if it survives.” Scott relates that most common question from new members and visitors is, “What do I call you? Do I call you Pastor, Reverend, or Scott?” The response is always, “I prefer to be called by my name.” The adults call him “Scott,” and the children call him “Brother Scott.”

Scott’s favorite pastime is playing with his two exceptional grandchildren.
