GROWTH in a Campbeltown congregation has been recognised by permission to appoint a minister for the first time in two decades.
Last week’s Free Church General Assembly in Edinburgh made the major decision and the process to find a minister will begin under the direction of the Rev Finlay Mackenzie, who was appointed interim-moderator.
Calum Ferguson, who represented Campbeltown Free Church at the assembly, said: ‘Our growth has been quite modest but we are encouraged by this development and delighted that for the first time in over 20 years we could have a full-time minister based in the town.’
