MISSION
Dr Morgan the first minister was also the first convener of Foreign mission. The first missionaries from the recently formed General Assembly in 1840 went from Fisherwick and the roll of serving missionaries down the years is a lengthy one. Fisherwick is committed to mission at home and overseas and this commitment is presently seen in our active involvement in the World Development Appeal, Christian Aid, PCI Missions through its United Appeal and the work of Presbyterian Women’s Fisherwick Branches. We have strong links with the Vellore Diocese of the Church of South India and its school building programme for Dalits, training of nurses and midwives for Dalits, and programme of personal and spiritual development for the pastors and leaders of the church. In addition we regularly send Youth, Young Adult and Adult teams to such places as India, South Africa and Romania and support through the Waddell Trust, members travelling on Mission overseas. The commitment to mission flows through the veins of Fisherwick.
