George B. Scripture, III

             I was raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ as my savior at a very young 
             age. The Holy Spirit got a hold of me, however, in February 2002, at a Don Potter
             conference at Bethel Church. Since that time God has done amazing things in my life.
             The Lord has blessed me with a beautiful wife, Sarah, and my little son Grady who
             was born November 2, 2004. I also have a teenage daughter, Tabitha, who also loves the Lord. I began my social work career working for Remi Vista group homes in December 1999. From there I went to work for Tehama County Children’s Protective Services. While at Tehama County my position’s focus was child abuse and domestic violence. In September 2002, I transferred to Shasta County. While in the Intake Unit at Shasta County, I worked with expectant mothers with methamphetamine addiction and other high risk factors surrounding their pregnancy. In August 2004, I moved to Shasta County’s Intensive Services Unit where most of my clients were children that required high level placements such as group homes. I left the county and started with Krista on August 29, 2005.
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Simpson College in 1994. My major was psychology. I also earned a single subject teaching credential in 1996 to teach English. I worked as a substitute teacher for several years until I started with Tehama County as a social worker. I was graduated from California State University Sacramento in May 2005 with a Master of Social worker. My goal is to achieve my license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a social worker for Krista, I look forward to bringing God’s work and social work together to help the kids and families that are involved with the system that doesn’t usually take spiritual matters into consideration. I pray that God will use me to make a difference in the lives of our families.
