Natalie Oates believes that God brought her to Acts 2.  She awoke one morning to a “freebie” newspaper in her driveway with Acts 2’s ad for office help in it, meeting the exact work specifications she had been contemplating. Natalie visited Acts 2 for the first time on the day of her interview, and has been here ever since.   
 
Natalie, her husband Rex and their two sons moved to Edmond, OK from Houston, Texas in 2004. While in Houston, she spent the majority of the last 20 years working in the oil and gas industry, and also as a stay-at home mom. Natalie was an active member of Chapelwood United Methodist Church.

Scott’s love of music began early in life with guitar lessons at the age of 10.  By the time he was in high school, he was spending his summers touring the country and performing with multiple drum and bugle corps  including a year with the Phantom Regiment from Rockford, Illinois. 

  Scott began his college career as a music education major at Oklahoma State University where he met his wife, Cynthia, while playing in the OSU drum line. In 2000, he completed his Bachelors degree in Organizational Management from Oklahoma Christian University and went on to receive a Masters of Business Administration in 2004.

 

Scott is currently employed at the Charles Machine Works, Inc. (Ditch Witch), in Perry, OK, where for the past 14 years he has been part of the information technology division.

 

Scott began filling in on bass and percussion with the Acts 2 Worship team in 2006.  He and his family became members of Acts 2 in 2007 and shortly after he became a regular member of the worship team. In the fall of 2009, Scott accepted a part-time staff position as Musician Coordinator.

 

Scott and Cynthia have two children, Kourtnee and Sean. He enjoys spending time with his family and playing as many different instruments as he can get his hands on. Scott says “that it wasn’t until I started leading worship, that I truly discovered why God had given me my musical abilities.  I feel truly blessed to be able to share them with my Acts2 family.”
