Ministry Team
Claire Van Geete
Family and Youth Worker
As the newly appointed Youth and Family Worker for Montrose Trinity, I am thrilled to be joining the Ministry Team here and the great family of volunteers who have so clearly been serving this area so well for so long.I am a qualified teacher who has experience in supporting learners and maths within the secondary sector and classroom teaching in the primary sector. I have already enjoyed being introduced to the MYPlay children and families, the 10:10 young people and team, and the Messy Church families and team. I look forward to building on these relationships and also getting to know our cluster of schools in the catchment area. During covid pandemic I joined the Ministries Development team and was assigned to Aberdeen North Parish shortly after their union. This has given me a lot of experience in parish working and outreach. I served on the school chaplaincy team, with Scripture Union and worked extensively with many community partners including the homes for Ukraine initiative. Prior to entering teaching, by God’s grace, I ran my own clown/circus theatre company for a number of years. This gave me opportunity to work with children and youth ministry, outreach and commercially to share the goodness and mercy of our great God. I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know you all as a parish. I look forward to working together with you all, and the new ministers, as we join together to worship and serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, here in Montrose Trinity.
