MINISTER: Mark Nicholas Mark became minister of Gorebridge Parish Church in 1999. Trained at New College in Edinburgh, Mark is married to Diane and is father to Joel, Nathan, Keziah, Simeon, Talitha and Zachary. Having been brought up in Dalkeith, Mark has a vision for God to move again in the towns of Midlothian. It was in 1986 that Mark first came to follow Jesus for himself. "It was like there was a voice inside saying 'make room for me'. When I finally realised that Jesus was not dead, that he really was alive, it was the changing point of my life. I will always be grateful that God in his mercy rescued me. I can think of no better way of spending my life than helping others come to know this for themselves." Callum Rowley is the other doughty seafarer in the picture! >> EMAIL MARK <<

YOUTH  MINISTER: Ross Watters Ross started with us in July 2009 but the story of how God brought him to us is an amazing one. Brought up in West Lothian Ross decided to follow Jesus after a sports camp that his sister did not tell him was run by Christians from St. Mungo's Balerno, one of the most exciting Churches in the Edinburgh area. We are the benificiaries of her sneakiness! A national junior squad basketball player, Ross' story of the Lord taking away and giving back. We are delighted to have him on board and already the young people's work has developed tremendously. Ross is also our key person in Stobhill and Gorebridge Primary Schools and Newbattle High where we help with chaplaincy. Ross is married to Fi and they have a wild dog called Snoopy and a much calmer tortoise called Summer. >> EMAIL ROSS <<
