James Scott Mayer
Native son of Texas, Seminary of the Southwest alumnus, Bishop of Northwest Texas, you lead as a true friend and lover of the people you serve.
Born in Dallas, educated at Texas Tech University, your work in sales was enjoyable, but a call to ordained ministry grew and persisted. That call was blessed by the Church of the Incarnation and the Diocese of Dallas, and you came to Austin for your seminary training and formation.
