Scott Kramer,
Lead Pastor

Our lives don’t always end up as we had planned. Sometimes the circumstances of life bring unexpected shifts, and sometimes God authors those shifts. Every one of us has had those experiences, including Lead Pastor, Scott Kramer, who grew up at GT! He was in 1st grade when his family started attending Glad Tidings Church, located then, on Warwick Drive in Wyomissing Hills. Scott and his family have been part of the GT family ever since!
Scott left college after his junior year to pursue a dream in minor league baseball as a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. Playing all over the east coast, he enjoyed the challenge of playing minor league ball and experiencing the world. During his third year in the minor leagues, Scott encountered several injuries to his pitching arm. After three disappointing surgeries in a year’s time, Scott was released by the Indians, ending his three year minor league career.
Scott returned to Emory to finish his degree, graduating in 1997 with a BS in Biology. He started working at Lucent Technologies, making some use of his science degree. In 2000, Scott and Kate married and started a family. They went to the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church in NYC to hear their world famous choir. While listening to a guest preacher from Texas, Scott and Kate felt a very clear sense of God calling Scott to full-time ministry. What a shift! Scott began preparing himself for ministry by enrolling in Berean School of the Bible with the Assemblies of God. (GT's denomination)
In 2005, Scott was hired as an Associate Pastor at GT to continue leading a young adult ministry that he and his wife, Kate had started, in addition to various other pastoral duties. Over the next 8 years, Pastor Scott led various ministry efforts at GT, including discipleship, healing ministry, and starting the GT School of Ministry.
In 2010, after completing all Berean courses, Scott was fully ordained as a minister with the Assemblies of God. In 2012, Pastor Scott was invited to serve as the Exec. Pastor at GT.
Scott and Kate have been married for over 20 years and love raising their three children together; Lucas, Matthew and Aarilyn. Scott’s passion for teaching God’s Word is evident, and his desire to see the church impact the world for Christ grows daily. Scott has been serving as the Lead Pastor at GT Church since 2021.

He earned his Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Scranton, and his Physician Associate medical training and certification from Philadelphia University (now part of Thomas Jefferson University).

He thoroughly enjoys meeting with his patients. He greets all patients with a smile and acknowledges their presence. He believes to facilitate a patient's SPEM Health, medical providers must have a positive interaction with each of their patients. While providers in family practice focus primarily on Physical Health, we often find ourselves involved in Spiritual, Emotional, and Mental Health issues. With a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, it comes naturally to him to help patients truly discuss how they are feeling. In this way, he develops an understanding of ways to impact the patients' SPEM Health in a positive manner.
He discusses with his patients that physical health is a very important element of their daily lives. He shares with them that we all want to feel better. We all want to feel our best! So, he asks, "How do we do that? Are we being true to ourselves?"
