Prior to coming to Glasgow, Kirk pastored a church in the Greenwich Village neighbourhood of Manhattan in New York City for 35 years. A couple of visits to Scotland and a conversation with Mission to the World missionaries, planted a seed that ripened. Kirk and his wife, Barbara, joined MTW and moved to Glasgow in 2022, making CRFC their home church. They have six children, and two much-loved grandchildren. In addition to serving in our church, Kirk works with the Free Church of Scotland in support of their global support pastors. He enjoys going to plays, concerts, museums, and baseball games. For some reason, since moving to Scotland, he's having a hard time doing the latter.
