Pastor Weiers Coetser began pastoring the Aberdeen church in 2022.
He is originally from South-Africa where he worked variously as a pastor, a campus chaplain, and a dormitory dean at an Adventist College. In 2008 he moved to the United Kingdom. He spent most of this time in Northern Ireland. Just before moving to Aberdeen, he spent a little more than two years pastoring two churches in the South-West of England.
Weiers is married with Simone who is a secondary school teacher in Aberdeenshire. They have a young adult daughter who lives in Liverpool.
Pastor Weiers completed his undergraduate studies at Helderberg College in South Africa, and later graduated with a Masters degree in Theology from the University of Wales Trinity St. David. He did this degree at Newbold College, the church college in Bracknell, England.
In addition to his pastoral duties, he also oversees the communication department of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Scotland.
In his free time, he likes to explore the world on a bicycle, grow vegetables. His special project for 2022 is to gain some proficiency in communicating in French, so that he can endeavour a bicycle tour through the French countryside.
Pastor Weiers enjoys pastoral visitation and will endeavour to respond quickly to any requests for visitation or pastoral care. He can be contacted on: weiers@adventist.scot or by phone / messaging service at 07787755231.
