My name is Chris Pinnell, and I’m the Session Clerk at Kingshill, helping to manage church business, support the ministry team, and lead activities with the elders. I’m retired after a 34-year career in local government and Scottish Water, where I was Treatment Manager for Grampian’s waste water works. Joyce and I have been married for forty years, with two grown children—a palliative care doctor and a police detective. I’ve been a member of Skene Church since 2000, where I’ve helped lead Sunday School, junior Bible class, and set up the P7–S3 'GRID'. I was ordained as an elder in Fraserburgh in 1997 and have been active in church life since my youth in Falkirk.

Beyond church, I’m a committed Rotarian. We work jointly with the church, run school quizzes, and support special needs kids' events. The Rotarian motto “Service before Self” seems to sum up our lives! My main hobby and often called my new full-time job, is managing Scouting locally. As the Group Scout Leader, I am in charge of 180 young people, helping to prepare them with 'skills for life'. Joyce and I enjoy travelling, especially cruising and caravanning, and look forward to many more adventures in the future.
