Scott Castleman

Scott Castleman, Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Ocean Springs, Miss., was elected to the Board of Trustees for Belhaven University in April. Castleman is a Teaching Elder in the Presbytery of the Gulf South.

He noted that when he entered Belhaven as a student in 1994, he was not a Christian.

“It was the gospel-centered environment of Belhaven that God used to bring me into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ,” Castleman said. “As a student I was discipled by Belhaven faculty members, and the biblical and theological education I received prepared me well for my calling into pastoral ministry. To serve Belhaven as it continues this essential work is a great privilege.”

He graduated from Belhaven in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies. He later earned a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and currently is pursuing a Doctor of Ministry degree from Reformed Theological Seminary.

Castleman has served the Ocean Springs congregation since 2009. He and his wife, Rebecca, have a daughter and two sons.

A Christian liberal arts college in Jackson, Miss., Belhaven enrolls 1,000 traditional-age students from 42 states and 22 different countries. In total, the university serves 4,400 students including in-residence, online, graduate, and adult degree programs.
