Meet Our Staff

Scott F. Guinn
LEAD PASTOR 
 
I was born in Tacoma in 1964 and I accepted Christ in 1969. I felt called to be a pastor when I was 8, and this was reaffirmed at church camp when I was 14. I ministered in various capacities as a volunteer for many years, including as a youth minister, worship leader, college group leader, Sunday school teacher, and AWANA leader. I moved to Idaho in 1989 and continued to minister on a volunteer basis. In 2005 I was asked to be the part-time pastor at Christian Life Fellowship Boise (where we had been attending for 11 years), and in 2010 I was moved to full-time. I continued to serve there as the pastor through October of 2021. I was hired at Lakeview in January 2022 as the Pastor of Care & Adult Ministries. In September of 2023 I was made the Teaching Pastor, and in May of 2024 I was made the Lead Pastor.
 
I met Kristi at Multnomah School of the Bible in Portland in 1988. I chased her to Idaho in 1989 and we were married in 1991. After nearly two decades of marriage we had been unable to conceive or adopt and we assumed God’s plan was for us to be childless. But then in June of 2011 I received an email regarding a young local woman who had gone to get an abortion but was turned away because she was too far along under Idaho law. She was looking for someone who would be willing to adopt her soon-to-be-born son. Kristi and I were thrilled to volunteer. Our son, Josiah Scott Guinn, was born in October of 2011. The hospital gave us a room just down the hall from the birth mother. Josiah spent his first night in our room and we took him home the next day. The adoption was finalized just two months later, and our lives have never been the same!
 
I love God, God’s Word, and God’s people, and I am thrilled to be able to minister to His flock as the Lead Pastor of Lakeview Bible Church!

I’m so grateful to be a part of what God is doing at Lakeview Bible Church! 
 
After graduating from Bible College with a BA in Biblical Studies, I relocated to Nashville to work in the music industry as a full-time songwriter and touring musician. 22 years ago, I moved back to Emmett, and during that time I’ve served as Worship Pastor for two different churches in the Treasure Valley. 
 
Over the years, I have continued recording and performing concerts around the globe (four continents and counting!), leading worship for churches and conferences as well as coaching worship leaders and teams. To find out more about my music ministry, visit www.scottriggan.com

Jake Smith
PASTOR OF STUDENT MINISTRIES
 

I have been married to Erica for 10 years. We are former foster parents, with one child of our own on the way. We desire to see every student know God’s love for them, and teach every student how they can respond to that love. We love fellowshipping over dinner, hiking, and photography.

Jennifer Good 

CREATIVE ARTS ASSISTANT
 
I have the opportunity to serve as the Creative Arts Assistant at Lakeview Bible Church, as well as lead in the Kids’ Ministry on a monthly basis. Since I was young, I’ve had a heart for kids and a love for creating. I was born and raised in Idaho and graduated from the University of Idaho with a bachelor degree in Education.
 
In 2012, I married my high school sweetheart and we are raising three wonderful boys on an alfalfa farm in Murphy, Idaho. It is our deepest desire to glorify God as we train our children, serve our church body and love others.
 
When I’m not chasing kids, I enjoy DIY projects, thrift shopping and tractor rides with my hubby.
