Leadership & Staff

To lead the church towards this vision we have a team of elders, led by our minister Kenny Macleod, who serves the church and community in a number of different ways.

The different ministries throughout the church have specific elders appointed in an oversight capacity.  We have a team of Deacons who are responsible for leading the practical and merciful aspects of work in the church and community.

We also employ 2 workers to help assist with areas of Youth & Student Work and Women & Families work.

Come and meet the team!
