Jamie and Linda - Senior Pastors
Jamie and his wife Linda are the senior pastors at Dwelling Place Glasgow and they have been the Senior Pastors of the church since 2000, when they originally planted the church as Glasgow Westend Vineyard.
Their main role within Dwelling Place Glasgow is to make sure that the Church places "Love God, Love People" at the centre of all we do. They are passionate about seeing God's Kingdom come through the preaching of God's word and in the power of the Holy Spirit. They are keen to see that every follower of Jesus is encouraged to fully develop their God given potential and calling and that the ministry gifts of Ephesians 4 are fully worked out within the body. Linda leads the Prophecy Team and is pioneering the development of a strong prophetic culture within the church, providing a strong undergirding of prayer and prophetic anointing.
Outside The Dwelling Place they are on the core team of Kingdom Legacy, a cross denominational and relational movement of church leaders wanting to see more of God's Kingdom come within their local church contexts.
