Rev Jillian Storrie

Minister

I feel very privileged to begin my ministry here in Netherlee & Stamperland Church. As I start this new chapter, I do so with gratitude and a deep sense of anticipation for what God is doing among us. I am looking forward to becoming part of this wonderful community, to listening, learning, and sharing life together, as we seek to follow Christ in all that we do.

My hope is that our church will continue to be Christ-centered, mission-focused, and community-led: a place where worship is heartfelt, faith is nurtured, and love is shown in practical and meaningful ways. I believe that the church exists not only for those who gather on a Sunday, but for the whole community we are called to serve.

As I begin my ministry, I am eager to hear from the people of Netherlee and Stamperland, and beyond, to understand what you would like from us as a church, and how together we might best serve the needs, hopes, and challenges of today. The gospel always calls us to listen, to care, and to respond with compassion and creativity.

I am very much a people person, and I hope to be an approachable and accessible minister, someone you can speak with, pray with, and journey alongside through all seasons of life.

My prayer is that, as we move forward together, Netherlee & Stamperland Church will continue to be a welcoming, caring, and outward-looking community of faith, where all can find belonging, purpose, and hope in Christ.

With love and many blessings

He went on to study music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, further honing his musical skills. In addition to his role as organist, Steven is dedicated to music education, serving as Head of Performing Arts at Hamilton Grammar School.

Elspeth Reid

Secretary

My name is Elspeth and since 2000, I have been church secretary for Netherlee and subsequently Netherlee and Stamperland Church.

I work three mornings per week, Wednesday and Thursday at home and Fridays in the church office.

My work entails preparing the Order of Service and Power Point presentation for Sunday worship, overseeing hall bookings or new lets, any printing requirements, creating monthly invoices for lets, keeping our membership and donations databases up to date, and submitting the Gift Aid claim to Inland Revenue every quarter.

Having lived in the area for many years I appreciate what a welcoming place Netherlee and Stamperland is.
