Leadership

Dave Webster
Mission Pastor

---

Our church is led by Dave, our pastor, along with a team of elders.  Dave is married to Morven and they have four boys and a daughter.  They love spending time with family and friends and getting to know new people. Dave was born in Glasgow, raised in Angus, and married into Aberdeen, before returning to Angus in response to God’s call, whilst Morven grew up in Aberdeenshire. 

Dave was brought up in a Christian family and committed his life to Jesus at an event at Pittodrie Stadium where the famous evangelist Billy Graham was speaking. Previous to his role here Dave worked for four years as Youth Pastor at Westhill Episcopal Church (now Westhill Community Church) near Aberdeen.  He has also worked as a Potato Roguer, a Data Administrator with Talisman Energy, a Hotel Porter and a University Porter. Dave is passionate about sharing the Good News that Jesus came to save us and set us free.  

He is also passionate about teaching the Bible in a relevant everyday way and about the local church engaging effectively with its community. His hobbies include watching and playing most sports when given the opportunity, as well as reading good books. Dave has a First Class Divinity Degree from the University of Aberdeen, as well as having studied at the International Christian College in Glasgow.  He also has a Diploma in Sports Coaching. Before becoming a full-time mum Morven studied Beauty Therapy at Aberdeen College.  She has a real heart for reaching out to those in need and plays a key role in developing our work amongst women and children in the community.  In particular she heads up the work of our Lighthouse Kids Clothes Bank.

Arbroath Town Mission is a registered Charity and as such has a Board of Directors which meets regularly to oversee its activities, and which reports at the Annual General Meeting.
