Scott Volk (birth year unknown–present). Born in the United States to a Jewish family, Scott Volk is a Messianic Jewish pastor, speaker, and founder of Together For Israel, a nonprofit ministry established to support the salvation of Israel and foster unity between Jews and Gentiles in Christ. Raised in a Jewish home, he converted to Christianity in 1975 at age 10, but it was not until June 2010, during a flight home from leading an Israel tour, that he experienced a profound calling to focus on God’s purpose for Israel. He graduated from Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas, and earned a bachelor’s degree in Pastoral Studies from North Central University in Minneapolis in 1988. Volk served in pastoral roles for over 20 years in Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina, including as lead pastor of FIRE Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, until 2012. His preaching, delivered at churches, Bible studies, and conferences globally, emphasizes biblical prophecy, the “one new man” vision from Ephesians 2:15, and equipping believers to provoke Israel to jealousy (Romans 11:11). Through Together For Israel, he leads TFI Tours, guiding hundreds to biblical sites in Israel, and supports ministries aiding underprivileged communities there. Volk hosts a podcast and has contributed to discussions on eschatology and Israel’s role in God’s plan, though he has authored no major books. Married to Beth, an Arab believer with Lebanese heritage, for over 30 years, they have five children—Alysa, Jonathan, Joseph, Emily, and Olivia—and reside in Charlotte, North Carolina. He said, “God’s heart for Israel is to see Jew and Gentile united in Messiah.”
