Assessment

Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church is an EPC congregation just outside Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lead Pastor Scott Bowen has served since 2014 (returning to a church where he was Youth Director 2000-2004), supported by Rev. Joey Sherrard (Associate Pastor of Discipleship) and a pastoral resident named Philip who came in July 2025 after his previous ministry home — Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis. This connection to Second Pres Memphis (another orthodox PCA/EPC-adjacent congregation) signals a confessional Reformed ethos. 11 AM Sunday service is livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube. As with all EPC churches, verify the Presbytery of the Southeast and local elder board stance on women elders. Solid green-eligible Presbyterian option in the Chattanooga metro.
