I am one of the church’s Pastoral Apprentices, focussing mainly on student work and general church administration.

I grew up in Northern Ireland and was a student at St Andrews University from 2011-2016 during which time I also attended St Andrews Baptist Church. After graduating I spent a year interning with Exodus, a Northern Irish youth discipleship organisation. I was excited to return to St Andrews in 2017 to come back and work for the church - St Andrews Baptist Church will always be special to me as somewhere I grew in confidence in my faith and in love for God.

I love being back helping to run Awake (our undergraduate ministry) and getting to study God’s Word with the students here. It’s such a privilege to walk alongside them and see them in turn grow in faith as they walk with Jesus. The admin side of my job is very varied, but it’s great to get to work with such a range of people in the church!

Feel free to get in touch with me.

Hi, I’m Becky. I work as international outreach worker for the church and I really love getting to know people from different countries who live in and around St Andrews.

I studied English Literature at St Andrews University and then I worked as a pastoral apprentice for two years at the Baptist Church. During this time I especially loved spending time with people we met at the fruit farm, and when I finished the apprenticeship I moved to Poland with the hope of continuing to serve people from the farm and the countries they come from. I taught English to all ages in a language school in Katowice.

In September 2017, I moved back to Scotland and started working for the church again. It is so good to be back! I work part time and I also do a Masters in Early Childhood Education, as I am passionate about teaching and love working with young children.

Hello everyone, my name is Chris Walker and I work for the church as a Pastoral Apprentice, focusing on youthwork and outreach. I’m originally from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and have also spent half my life on the Isle of Man. This is where I met and married my wife Mary in 2015, both of us having worked for Scripture Union on the Island. A year later, in the summer of 2016, we felt God’s calling to move to St Andrews which is also Mary’s hometown. Following a year working in retail, I was privileged to become a church Pastoral Apprentice in August 2017.

Between 2011 and 2014, I studied Christian Youth Work at the University of Chester and am hugely passionate about bringing the gospel to different groups in and around St Andrews. Outside of this, I also love reading, attempting to play sport (largely football, tennis and squash) and playing/listening to various types of music.

My primary areas of work are with the Rooted youth group, Mish Mash and co-ordinating the church music teams. Do feel free to contact me for more information on any of these ministries, or to get involved.
