New Pastor Takes The Helm At Longstanding Madison Church

The oldest congregation in Madison is about to see some changes this fall. A new pastor will be taking the reins at the Presbyterian Church of Madison, according to the Madison Eagle.

Reverend Scott Foster is relocating from Guthrie, Oklahoma to take over from William “Tex” Culton. Foster reported to the Eagle, “Their written profile clearly called my name -- and we hit it off from the first phone conversation with the search team. We just clicked, and our visions were almost in lock step.”

The Madison Eagle states that Foster, his wife, and their two children had previously lived in the Northeast region, in Westchester County, when he was involved in the music industry, but a calling to follow Christ had pulled him to Oklahoma, where he earned an advanced degree in divinity and served as pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church in Guthrie.

Summer services are held at 9:30 a.m. Sundays in the Webb Chapel at the Presbyterian Church in Madison at 19 Green Ave.
