Parish Minister - Tony Stephen
Depending on God’s grace, my aim is to be a good dad, a good husband, and to serve the community of Banchory with my gifts and talents. I have been called to the ministry of Word and Sacrament, as a servant and a teacher, and those will be my priorities - to teach the scriptures, to lead worship, and to serve and guide our community to be the hands and feet of Jesus in this place.
