General Assembly Moderators

The moderators of General Assembly are the national figureheads for the denomination, representing the United Reformed Church both internally and within the wider world; they chair major meetings, visit churches at home and abroad, and seek to provide worship, teaching and pastoral care.

In 2008, General Assembly agreed to move from a single moderator appointed for one year to two moderators, a minister and an elder, serving for two years alongside one another. Assembly 2010 saw the start of this new pattern and it continues in 2012 with the Revd Dr Michael Jagessar serving alongside Mrs Val Morrison.
