Elder Paul Scotland is a native of Seneca, South Carolina, whose life reflects God’s calling from an early age. Raised by his grandparents, he was grounded in faith, discipline, and a deep reverence for God. At just three years old, he began preaching, revealing an evident anointing and divine purpose on his life.

In 2009, at the age of nine, Elder Scotland delivered his official trial sermon, marking the early development of a ministry that would continue to grow in wisdom and spiritual depth. On October 10, 2010, he received the gift of the Holy Ghost at Mt. Zion Fire Baptized Holiness Church. As his understanding of truth expanded, he embraced the necessity of water baptism and was baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins in 2012 at Refuge Temple in Columbia, South Carolina.

Committed to excellence in both ministry and education, Elder Scotland graduated with honors from Seneca High School and is a proud alumnus of North Greenville University. This dedication reflects his desire to be thoroughly equipped for effective service in the Kingdom of God.

In 2022, during the 103rd Holy Convocation of the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, Elder Paul Scotland was officially ordained as an Elder, affirming the call, character, and anointing upon his life.

In June 2025, he married his best friend and partner in ministry, Sister Mikayla Scotland. Together, they stand united in faith, purpose, and service. Later that year, under the guidance of the Holy Ghost and the covering of his Pastor, Elder Thomas Hampton, Elder Scotland, along with a team of seven saints, planted The Lord’s Church in Clemson, South Carolina, on November 15, 2025.

Today, Elder Paul Scotland continues to serve with humility, passion, and Apostolic conviction, faithfully preaching the unadulterated Word of God and laboring for the advancement of His Kingdom.
