Pastor's Bio

I came to the Parish of Jedburgh and Oxnam as a probationary minister in August 2024.

During my time here, the Churches of Jedburgh and Oxnam linked with Ale and Teviot.

After completing my 15-month probation, I knew I was called to this united Charge to serve as their Minister of Word and Sacrament.

I was ordained and inducted into the Parish of Jedburgh and Oxnam linked with Ale and Teviot on the 6^th November 2025.

I am passionate about youth engagement, pastoral care and building connections with the community. I love working with the local schools and other Churches in the area. I enjoy visiting the Day Centre and the care homes and appreciate the opportunities to take the Gospel message into these places as well.

I have completed Church placements in various towns of the borders including Melrose, Peebles and Hawick. It is a blessing to finally be serving where I feel truly called.

It is important to me that our Churches are a place of welcome to families, children and all ages. A place where everyone feels part of God’s family. I especially enjoy running messy Church as I feel this is a great way of interacting and engaging with the community, as well as offering a style of worship that is fun, relaxed and enjoyable!
