Hope Church Leith will be the fifth church to have been planted from St Columba’s and will see Derek become the leader of a church-plant for the first time. Alongside his wife Catriona, they will begin the work with some funding to buy a manse, as well as the Leith Memorial Church building already there (following it's recent closure), albeit needing renovations. But they know they will need the Lord’s provision to help raise further funds, as they look to start building up the congregation.
