MINISTER

Cults Parish Church appointed its first minister, Rev. Ewen Gilchrist, on Thursday 23 March 2006. Ewen was formerly minister of St Matthew's Church, Perth.

Ewen was born in Helensburgh and brought up in Milngavie. Before joining the ministry he worked as a reporter and was a sub-editor of the 'Scotsman'. Following this he studied divinity at the University of Edinburgh between 1976-81 and graduated with
a BD, Dip Min.

His first position was as assistant minister at the linked charge of Eddleston and Peebles Old Church. He was ordained and inducted to Garelochhead in 1982 until 1988 when he was appointed minister of St Matthew's Church, Perth where he served for 17 years. In 1995 he gained a Diploma in Theology and Communication.

In March 2006 about 400 people filled Cults Parish Church when Ewen was inducted.

YOUTH & FAMILIES WORKER

Peter Cross was appointed to this position in January 2015 and works alongside the Minister building and developing relationships with young people and young families within the Congregation and the Parish.

Having been raised and educated in Albuquerque, New Mexico, then in Aberdeen, Peter brings his very own flavour to this post.  He constantly seeks imaginative and innovative ways to share the Gospel and relates very easily with our youngsters and our congregation.
