Chris Dixon

Ministry Associate

Chris is the Ministry Associate at Inshes East Church and is heading up our work to establish a new church in Milton of Leys.

He was brought up in the church and became a Christian in his late teens as he began to see his own need for the grace, mercy and new life that only Jesus can offer.  He loves helping people to explore and understand God’s Word in the Bible and seeing God’s power transforming lives.

Chris has volunteered with Scripture Union and Christian in Sport for a number of years as well as helping to lead a local youth group. He recently undertook a ministry apprenticeship with AT3 (The Alliance of Transatlantic Theological Training) including a Foundation Course in Applied Theology at the Faith Mission Bible College in Edinburgh.

Chris is married to Lindsay, and they have four young children. He enjoys playing sport (especially rugby), hillwalking, cycling and swimming in the sea!
