On February 28, 1949, Leonard Stephen Scott was born in Indianapolis, Indiana to adoring parents Nathaniel and Bernice Scott. Education was key in this household. As a child, he attended Public School 87 and after graduating from Arsenal Technical High School, his parents encouraged him to apply to college. He enrolled at Indiana State University and after three accepted into Indiana University School of Dentistry. During his sophomore and junior  years in dental school, he played in a pop band called the Soul Messengers on weekends. He was wearing himself thin trying to be a pop star, fulfill the rigors of dental school and raise three young children. One night while studying models of teeth in his apartment, a voice spoke to him and said, "Now is your time." Immediately, he put the teeth down, got into his car and drove to Christ Temple Apostolic Faith Church. When he walked inside, he approached the altar where many were kneeling in prayer, got on his knees and received the Holy Ghost. This experience changed his life forever!

In 1976, the now Dr. Scott and Minister Craig Tyson worked together to produce Feel Good, the first recording project of the Christ Church Combined Choirs. This recording launched Tyscot Recording Company, the nation's oldest black-owned gospel record label. Today the company has publishing companies as well as other labels under its corporate umbrella. Tyscot is also the label which launched and/or has been instrumental in the careers of such gospel greats as Rev. John P. Kee, Deitrick Haddon, Witness, Rodnie Bryant & CCMC, Morris Chapman, Bishop Larry D. Trotter, Bishop Noel Jones, The Rance Allen Group and many more.

In 1977, Dr. Scott married the beautiful Christine Tyson of Youngstown, Ohio. God blessed them to parent 7 talented children - Jonathan, Bryant, Nathan, Kieno, Lynna, Melanie and Kathy, and now they have 16 wonderful grandchildren. In 1999, Dr. Scott received the call to start a church, and in 2000, with the blessing and support of his Pastor, he and his wife opened Rock Community Church. Three short years later, Bishop Tyson recommended that Dr. Scott serve as Suffragan Bishop under the Honorable Bishop Michael Hannah, Diocesan of  Kenya, Africa.  Dr. Scott accepted this call with the unction to take the mission of Rock Community Church to Africa. That mission is "to reach the masses with the gospel, making them worshipping, witnessing disciples of Jesus Christ."
