Guest Speakers
John and Misty Vaught
Northway Baptist Church
Pastor John Vaught, his wife, Misty, and their children Nyah, Naison and Nolan moved to the Scottsdale area in August of 2013 to follow the call of God and start NorthWay Baptist Church.
Pastor Vaught was struck by the lack of churches of any kind when traveling through Scottsdale in November of 2011. Both he and his wife were overwhelmed by the tremendous need of this city and over the next few months sought the Lord about starting a church in Scottsdale.
In January of 2012, God confirmed in their hearts the call to go to this great city and start a New Testament Baptist church. Pastor Vaught and his family are excited about what God has already done and what He will continue to do through NorthWay Baptist Church in Scottsdale, Arizona.
