MEET OUR MINISTER
Rev. Scott Cameron serves as the minister of Balintore United Free Church of Scotland. Since August 2024, Scott, along with his wife, Antonia, and their children—Bethany, Daniel, and David have found a warm spiritual home among us.
Originally from the Isle of Skye and a former pupil of Portree High School, Scott's early life was captivated by the music of the highlands and islands. At 16 years of age he became a Senior Scottish Accordion Champion followed by a career as an accordion demonstrator in Aberdeen. However, in October 1989, Scott's life was profoundly transformed by the life-changing message of the Gospel. This new direction led him to pursue training as a lay evangelist in Crieff, followed by theological studies in Aberdeen, where he earned his Master of Arts in 1997 and his Bachelor of Divinity in 2000. After faithfully serving for 22 years in North Ayrshire, Scott returned with his family to the Highlands, settling in Balintore, Easter Ross.
Our minister, his family, and the congregation have a shared desire to passionately follow the Lord and to rest in His sovereign mercy and grace, praying that the Seaboard villages might once again know "times of refreshing from the throne of God".
