Jill Benstead

Charles Cole
I moved to Westhill in 2001 and currently work in the oil industry. I am married to Toyin and we have two daughters. I have a desire to see Christians walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, growing and becoming more like Jesus Christ in all things and being fully equipped for whatever God has called them to do. I enjoy most sport - particularly football, squash and the odd bit of running. Areas of oversight: Alpha, DNA. Men's ministry, Young adults, Youth. |
Sandra McGregor
I am a middle aged wife (of Calum) and a mum of four. I am passionate about spreading the love of Jesus and supporting and encouraging those who are going through hard times. I am equally at home serving up coffee and cakes in the Green Pastures Cafe! .... All-in-all I would say, I'm an ordinary woman seeking to serve an extraordinary God! Areas of oversight: Care in the Community, Pastoral Care, Foodbank, Harmony lite, Holiday Bible Club, Mainly Music. |
Malcolm Stewart
I live in Midmar 10 miles west of Westhill. I am married to Lorna and we have three teenage children. I work as a children’s dentist at Aberdeen Dental School. I believe small groups are essential to our growth and development as Christians as a place where we can experience God in a new and meaningful way. If I have any spare time left I try to play basketball and act as my children’s personal chauffeur. Areas of oversight: Crèche, Mini Roar, Roar, House groups, All Age services. |
