REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Overview

The Regional Development Team of the Mission and Discipleship Council is at the heart of the council's strategy.

There are eight regional development officers based in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Perth who act as the first point of contact with our local congregations. They work collaboratively with the council and its associate secretaries. Together they are responsible for supporting the council in the development and delivery of resources for congregations in education and nurture, mission and evangelism, worship and doctrine, publishing and church art and architecture.

Introducing the team

Each regional development officer has a twin responsibility – firstly to be the first point of contact for congregations in a number of presbyteries; and secondly to take forward a specific area of the council’s work.
