Elliot Mitchell
Locum
We are delighted that while we seek a new minister, our locum, Elliot Mitchell, will be conducting services on a Sunday and participating in Pastoral Care
The Session Clerk is the one who makes sure the church functions and tries to keep everybody happy at the same time!
I work in the kirk centre to meet families and offer support. I love walking and getting to know the local community. I’m not too old to learn something new – would like to learn to skate!
I grew up in a non-Christian household and through local mission and relationships with youth workers in Liberton and became a Christian at the age of 14. I have volunteered at local Christian run groups since I was 16, and hopesto spend many more years teaching youth about Christ.

I maintain the church membership records and the Elders/District records, so if you change postal or email address or phone number let me know.
I was Sub-Organist of Craigmillar Park Church and deputised at churches around Edinburgh before arriving at Liberton Kirk in January 2013. I enjoy assisting through the glory of music, and sometimes play the Clarinet in the Praise Band. I played the organ at Mortonhall Crematorium during my student years before seeking employment as an accountant – nobody’s perfect!
I am a mum to two boys, who keep me very busy. I am a local girl and have lived in the South East of Edinburgh since a young girl. Being able to work in the community that I adore is a privilege. I love the idea of Kirkgate Café being a warm and safe place for everyone who comes along.

I work with families and preschool children at Liberton and I also manage our online presence.
At Liberton we encourage folks to get involved in one of our regular Link groups – linking upwards to God, inwards to each other and outwards to others. These meet at different places and times of the week, and vary in frequency to suit the folks who come. As well as opportunities to get to know people better, they are places where you can deepen your faith and find support for issues which may arise in your day to day life. Contact me for more details.
