In a world where truth feels uncertain, we believe clarity matters. What we believe shapes who we are, how we live, and the hope we share.

Meet Our Lead Pastor

DR. Scott Lehr

Pastor Scgrew up in Flint, Michigan. He graduated from Cedarville University (Ohio) and married his wife in 2000. They have four daughters, El, Ava, Janie, and Gracie. In 2006, they moved to Raleigh to plant a new church, which would later be called Southbridge Fellowship.

“I grew up in an unchurched home. At 18 years old, a local attorney told me that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and that no one could get to God apart from Jesus. I placed my faith in Jesus Christ and fell in love with Jesus but hated the church. However, as I grew in my relationship with God, I learned that while imperfect, the church is God’s plan for reaching the world for Jesus. We started this church (Southbridge) to be a community of believers who exist to connect people to Jesus for life change.”
