About Us
For the first time in the history of our church, our pastors are a husband and wife team. Dr. Dan and Dr. Reppa are one of the few clergy couples who serve the same church. In addition, North Scituate Baptist Church is the only known Baptist church to be served by a married team in which both hold Doctor of Ministry Degrees.
