Mark Nicholas (Minister)

Mark became minister of Gorebridge Parish Church in 1999. Trained at New College in Edinburgh, Mark is married to Diane and is father to Joel, Nathan, Keziah, Simeon, Talitha, Zachary, Asher and Gabriel. Having been brought up in Dalkeith, Mark has a vision for God to move again in the towns of Midlothian. It was in 1986 that Mark first came to follow Jesus for himself. "It was like there was a voice inside saying 'make room for me'. When I finally realised that Jesus was not dead, that he really was alive, it was the changing point of my life. I will always be grateful that God in his mercy rescued me. I can think of no better way of spending my life than helping others come to know this for themselves".

Ross Watters (Youth Minister)

Ross is the Youth Minister at Gorebridge Parish Church and was brought up in West Lothian. He was tricked into going to a sports camp at St. Mungo's Church, Balerno by a friend and decided to follow Jesus then. He loves sport in general. Playing and watching football and basketball have been a big part of his life! "I am delighted to be working at Gorebridge and have been excited to see how things are growing and developing. My wife Fi and I have been living in Gorebridge since 2011 and hope to spend many more years being involved in leading and developing what God is doing here".
