This is an amazing opportunity for a passionate, inclusive, spiritual and energetic priest as Rector of St Andrew’s Scottish Episcopal Church, Kelso to lead us on to the next stage of our exciting journey of faith. Someone who will share our vision for the future, encourage us, and bring a fresh outlook on how we continue to take the ‘gospel’ off the page and put it into real life.

We are a single charge congregation that is enthusiastic, spiritual and growing.  We value the importance on offering a warm welcome to all, our liturgy, our care for one another, and for our Rector.

Please be assured of our prayers as you seek whether God is calling you to lead St Andrew’s.
