Welcoming Chris Robertson to the Eldership
On Sunday 14th September 2025, at our Morning Worship, Mr Chris Robertson was welcomed and ordained to the Eldership of Balintore United Free Church. Chris was nominated by the congregation and warmly received by the Kirk Session, a sign of God’s ongoing provision for our fellowship. It was encouraging to see such a good attendance on this special occasion, as together we gave thanks for the Lord’s continued faithfulness to our congregation and prayed for Chris in his new calling.
This ordination is particularly significant in the life of Balintore UF, as the last elders to be ordained were in May 2002. In a church that traces its story back to 1738, through times of blessing, trial, and renewal, the ordaining of a new elder is a reminder that Christ continues to build His Church in every generation. As our forebears once covenanted together to remain steadfast in the gospel, so today we rejoice that the Lord is still raising up those who will shepherd and serve His people in Balintore and beyond.
We look ahead with gratitude and hope, trusting that God will bless Chris and his wife Barbara, and through them strengthen the witness of our congregation in the years to come.
