Scott Lundeen serves as the director of the Issachar Center for Urban Leadership. He was part of Issachar’s 2nd Class and is an alumnus of the apprentice program. 

 

Scott grew up in Minnesota, where his cross-cultural experiences through basketball and summer camps led him to a Boys and Girls Club in North Minneapolis in 1991. Over the next 22 years, he has continued to learn and lead through urban and student ministry roles in Minneapolis, Kansas City, Denver, Chicago, and New Orleans. Scott worked for Urban Impact in New Orleans from 2002-2007 —a formative time around Hurricane Katrina that furthered Scott’s passion for developing young urban Christian leaders and engaging followers of Jesus in issues of race, poverty, and justice.

 

Scott left New Orleans to return to Denver, where he worked with Mile High Ministries to produce Urban Entry, a series of DVDs that is used in colleges, churches, and local communities to engage Christians in urban issues. In August of 2011, Scott became the director of the Issachar Center, where Urban Entry will join other urban leadership resources developed by Issachar’s community of leaders.

 

Scott is a graduate of Bethel University and Denver Seminary. He lives at the Issachar Center with three remarkable women: his wife, Melanie, and his daughters, Scotia and Reyna.
