Staff at St Columba

St Columba has been blessed by a team of staff of the highest calibre, as well as an army of volunteers who provide prayer support, are a friendly face at reception, provide IT support, maintain and develop our property and gardens, cater for our functions, play their instruments in the worship team, lead our children and young people, visit people in the community, arrange flowers each week, open and close up the building, run the Opportunity Shop, serve coffee and tea after the services... the list goes on and on.

Take a look at us to find out more about some of the people who make this place tick - then feel free to introduce yourself in person!

Dawn Preest - Playgroup Co-ordinator

Dawn has run the St Columba Playgroup for many years. She loves working with children and their parents, and her passion is to see families come to the Playgroup during the week, make new friends and learn parenting skills so that they can bring up their children in a happy and loving home environment. We would love to see families join us on Sunday, in church, so that they can feel part of the St Columba church family and learn to have a personal relationship with God.
