Dr. D. Scott Weimer
Senior Pastor

Named one of Georgia Trend magazine’s “100 Most Influential Georgians” in 2006, Dr. Scott Weimer is the Senior Pastor of North Avenue Presbyterian Church, in the growing midtown section of Atlanta. Coming from previous pastoral calls at First Church in Bradenton, Florida and Clairmont Presbyterian in Atlanta, Scott continues his commitment to ministry at North Avenue, where he begins his eleventh year as Senior Pastor this June.

Scott loves to travel with his family and the church, as it engages him in mission around the world. During the summer of 2005, after being named one of three Georgia pastors to receive the prestigious Pastoral Sabbatical Grant from the Lilly Foundation, Scott traveled to South Korea, China, and France. He has visited North Avenue Presbyterian’s “sister church” in Mexico City and participated in a dedication ceremony at Presbyterian University in Kenya. He also recently travelled to Thailand and Burma in the summer of 2007. For his focus on mission around the world and in Atlanta, Scott was honored with the James H. Costen Award for Religion, given by the Interdenominational Theological Center.

An avid reader and runner, Scott also enjoys watching college basketball (go Jayhawks!) and hanging out with his three children–daughter Christen, a recent graduate of Barnard College-Columbia University; and sons, James, an undergrad at the University of Georgia, and Justin, a 9th grader at Whitfield Academy.

Scott is a native of Clay Center, Kansas, and completed his undergraduate work at the University of Kansas. In 1978, he moved to Chicago to receive his Master of Divinity degree from Trinity Divinity School and followed suit in Princeton, New Jersey, where he received a Master of Theology with specialization in History of Doctrine from Princeton Theological Seminary. Scott then received his Doctorate of Ministry from Columbia Theological Seminary in 1991.

Dr. Weimer, his wife, Cynthia, and youngest son, Justin, live in Mableton, Georgia.

Rev. Susan Bennett
Associate Pastor for Discipleship


A Southerner at heart, Susan was raised in Pittsburgh but moved to Sarasota, Florida as an adult, where she graduated from Eckerd College with a degree in Human Development Services. She earned a Master of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary, and received three years of chaplaincy training from the Georgia Baptist Health Care System. During those years Susan ministered as a hospital, nursing home, and hospice chaplain, and was in supervisory training when she left Georgia Baptist to begin ministering full time at Norris Lake Presbyterian Church in Snellville.

Susan was solo pastor at Norris Lake for three years, and left there to join the North Avenue staff in November 2001. She loves people of all ages, but feels most strongly called to minister in the areas of pastoral care, pastoral counseling, and all aspects of congregational care. Susan's passion is relationships: she firmly believes it is our relationships with God, ourselves, and each other that make life fulfilling and joyful, and help build the church to answer God's call to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
