Session Clerk – Stephen Hutchison

The Session Clerk acts as secretary to the Kirk Session, the church’s leadership body. The role includes keeping the minutes and records, handling official correspondence, maintaining the membership roll, and supporting the elders in the running of the church.

Stephen brings a wealth of experience to the role. He was previously Session Clerk at Hilton Parish Church in Inverness, where he and his wife Ingrid were both elders. He has also worked as a consultant in palliative medicine, including as the first consultant in the specialty for Highland Hospice.

Stephen and Ingrid live in Cromdale. He enjoys reading and cycling, so if you spot a red blur speeding through the village, it may well be him.
