"Scott George Bauer" was the senior pastor of The Church On the Way (from late 1999 until his sudden death in 2003). He also served as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the King’s College and Seminary and as the supervisor the Los Angeles North Valley District of Foursquare Churches. On weekdays, he was known for his messages that aired on the KTLW radio program titled Life on the Way. Before his death, Scott Bauer had finished writing his first book, The New Church On The Way. He helped in the founding the now defunct Los Angeles Community Builders Inc. which battled against neighborhood deterioration and juvenile delinquency. He is credited with assisting in the founding of the Israel-Christian Nexus with his “encouragement” and “guidance”.

Among Southern California clergy, he was known for bringing Jewish and Christian leaders together.
