First pastor for 50-year-old church

Alistair Chalmers.

Ferniehill Evangelical Church in Edinburgh finished the year praising God for two big encouragements in 2023 – they moved back into their renovated building and employed their first pastor, Alistair Chalmers.

For over 50 years, Ferniehill Evangelical Church has been faithfully witnessing to the local community in Gilmerton, Edinburgh.

The congregation has been without a minister as such and is ‘elder-led’, having had its roots in the Brethren movement.
