United Reformed Church

Having studied Divinity at New College and a post-graduate diploma in Community Education at Northern College in Dundee, Fiona was ordained as a minister of the Scottish Congregational Church in 1996. When the SCC joined the URC in 2000, she became a minister of the URC.

As a URC minister she has worked in local churches with both the Methodist Church and the Church of Scotland, before being inducted as the minister of AUC in 2009. Fiona served as the Moderator of the General Assembly of the URC 2022-2023 and is a volunteer practitioner with Place for Hope. As well as being a minister, Fiona is a mum and partner. She has a great love of music, singing and laughing.

I serve as an elder at Augustine United Church which is part of the United Reformed Church (www.augustine.org.uk).

Because of my faith, I care deeply about protecting our planet, promoting peace and justice, and empowering & including people from the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am currently a Student Adviser at Moray House School of Education and Sport and have previously worked with Roots, an Edinburgh charity for all university students.

When I am not working at Moray House or with AUC, I love exploring the Scottish countryside, baking treats for my friends and family, and reading a lot of romance novels.
