Abi Ngunga
Pastor
Pastor 
Abi joined St Andrews Baptist Church in July 2019 to serve as our pastor. In addition to his pastoral role, Abi serves as an elder and deacon and leads the ministry team of the church.
Abi has over 25 years’ cross-cultural ministry experience. His greatest passion is unashamedly to introduce people to the Lord Jesus Christ and to facilitate their personal spiritual growth and effective development in their Christian walk for the transformation of their given community, as well as to train the next generation of church leaders. For he believes that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only hope for humanity. To this end, he considers his life worth nothing to him, if only he may faithfully finish his God-given mission.
Abi was born and raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) before moving (via Kenya) to Scotland in 2005. After a career as a teacher of Maths and Physics for three years, he pursued theological studies – earning, by God’s grace, not one but five degrees including a PhD in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible from the University of Aberdeen. He enjoys serving and encouraging others, exercising faith, networking, socializing, and walking.
He and his wife, Elisée (from the DRC), have three children (Pistis, Elpis, and Isaac)

Clayton Mills
Ministry Coordinator

My name is Clayton Mills, and I am originally from Texas. I moved to Scotland to study the Bible at the University of St Andrews, and I now serve at St Andrews Baptist Church while continuing to develop toward pastoral ministry. I hold a PhD in Biblical Studies from St Andrews and am currently undergoing ministry accreditation with the Baptist Union of Scotland.
At St Andrews Baptist Church, I work closely with the leadership team to support the life and vision of the church through practical ministry, discipleship, pastoral support, worship planning, and volunteer development. I particularly enjoy helping people grow in confidence, discover their gifts, and become more deeply connected to the church community.
I am passionate about preaching, biblical teaching, and helping theology connect clearly and meaningfully with everyday life. Alongside ministry responsibilities, I am interested in developing opportunities for training and encouragement within the church, especially in areas such as preaching, discipleship, and leadership development.
