Leadership
(Staff) Pastor Scott Cope
Scott grew up in the suburbs of Boston, in the town of Medfield. Though raised in a Christian home, he never made faith in Christ his own. Trust in Christ remained mere intellectual assent. While at the George Washington University, God opened Scott’s eyes to the beauty and work of Christ in the gospel. Like never before, he knew his sinfulness and need for a savior. More than that, he knew Christ’s sufficiency as Savior.
Upon completing his Bachelors in Philosophy, he commissioned as a Navy chaplain candidate and enrolled in graduate school at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He completed his Masters of Divinity in 2018. And while serving at various churches, Scott consistently felt the call to minister back in New England. In 2019, the Copes began to investigate planting a church in Bedford and in August 2020, amid the global pandemic, they returned to greater Boston. Even before moving to Bedford in 2022, they immediately fell in love with the colonial architecture and small-town feel that made it feel like home.
Scott and Kate married in 2014 and have been blessed with three children. He enjoys coffee, books, woodworking, and all things New England (especially the sports!).
(Lay) Pastor Mark Butman
For years, Mark and his wife contemplated joining a church plant. Having once considered opportunities in Britain, they were immediately intrigued by the prospect of a church plant in New England. In 2022, they were sent out from Del Ray Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA to join Trinity and support the work.
A self-professed foodie, Mark loves exploring Boston’s neighborhoods and sampling all things local. Residing in Billerica, Mark works on Hanscom AFB.
(Lay) Pastor Dave DeBaun
Since Trinity’s beginning, Dave has served on staff (part-time) as the Music Leader. A native of southern New Hampshire, he plays the piano and guitar and loves leading the congregation in worship through song. A full-time embedded software engineer, Dave and his family live in Westford. He especially enjoys family hikes, grilling, jamming, seeing live music, and jazz.
