Other Members of the Leadership Team
Steve Townsend
I have lived in Westhill and Kingswells, with my wife Jenny, since 1974. I am a retired academic, having worked mostly at the University of Aberdeen, but also at the University of Botswana for a couple of years. I provide spiritual oversight for the Sound and Multimedia teams, and also serve on the Vestry and the Diocesan Synod as the church's lay representative. My main passion is in communicating the message of the Bible in preaching, writing, and various other ways; to find out more go to http://www.jennysteve.net |
Jill Benstead
I am married to Paul, we have 4 Children, and a dog. I work part time as a peripatetic teacher of children with a visual impairment. On my days off I love walking the dog and meeting friends. My passion is to hear from God and encourage others to grow. In the church I oversee prayer ministry, missions and crèche, and I lead the Sozo ministry. |
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 currently oversee the Men's ministry and lead the Young Adult's group. I enjoy most sport - particularly football, squash and the odd bit of running. |
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 lead the WCC Prayer Ministry Team and oversee Mainly Music but 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! |
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 currently oversee the children’s ministries in the church, crèche, Roar, mini Roar and the All Age services. I also oversee the housegroup structure. 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. |
Moira Svensen
I’m Moira, married to Matthew, raising our four passionate kids. I love learning and am constantly being challenged and growing through home-schooling our children. I get excited about encouraging people to live their best lives, walk in vulnerability and let go of lies they have believed about themselves and God. I adore adventuring and getting out in the ocean on my stand-up-paddle board with my family. I’m pursuing a fear free life, learning to hear God’s voice and live in complete freedom. |
Rebekah McGregor
Growing up in Westhill, I’ve been a part of this church family all my life. I have a heart for social justice and young people which has developed from my experiences studying at ministry school in California and working in the D.R Congo with Justice Rising, an organisation which builds schools in conflict areas. I am happily married to Grant and am currently studying to become a qualified counsellor, which I hope to use to support children who are going through difficult times. I want to spend my life following Jesus and sharing his love with others. |
