Scott Squires

Scott Squires resides in Le Mars, Iowa, with his wife Karman.  Scott and Karman have three adult children: Jacob, Maria, and Sarah.  All three children are currently attending college: one is in the process of transferring from SDSU to a flight school in Sioux Falls, and two are finishing their schooling with USD.  Scott’s wife, Karman, is from Sioux Falls, SD, and works as an Occupational Therapist at Unity Point Health Hospital in Sioux City.  Scott and Karman recently celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and have lived in the same house for over twenty years.  Scott started his spiritual journey in Phoenix, AZ, where he spent most of his childhood.  After receiving his calling for the pastorate, he attended Central Christian College of McPherson, Kansas.  After graduating from college, Scott returned to Phoenix and met the love of his life. Shortly after, Scott and Karman married, and they traveled to St. Paul, Minnesota, and Scott began his seminary studies at Bethel.  While living in St. Paul, Scott worked as an English-speaking Pastor at New Brighton Korean United Methodist Church. However, due to unfortunate circumstances regarding the United Methodist University Senate, Bethel failed to receive further recognition. Scott and Karman returned to Phoenix, and Scott received a pastoral assignment at Lake View United Methodist Church of Sun City, AZ.  During their time in Phoenix, Scott continued his Seminary Studies through Clarmont School of Theology.  During this time, all three children were born, and Scott and Karman longed for a small-town community in which they could raise their children.  Subsequently, they decided to move to Le Mars so they might be closer to Karman’s family, and Scott finished his Divinity degree at Sioux Falls Seminary.  Scott was assigned to Crescent Park Church of Sioux City in 2007, and in 2020, Scott accepted a second pastoral charge with Trimble Church.  Scott is very excited about his new adventure in ministry with the Wesley family.  Scott is very passionate about his faith, and he believes God has wonderful plans for Wesley.
