Mark Donaldson, Trustee
I was born in Falkirk, raised in Denny and attended Denny Baptist Church from the cradle. I was born again when 12 years old by the grace of God through faith that was a consequence of the godly example of my parents, a deep conviction of my sinfulness and a recognition of the truthfulness and utter reliability of Scripture; being baptised in my early teens.
My chosen career in dentistry took me to the University of Edinburgh to study, where I graduated in 1986 before moving to Peterhead, Aberdeenshire; the North-East town in which I have lived and worked ever since. I sold my dental practice group in 2019 and fully retired in 2023.
I am married to Shona with three, grown-up children (Gareth, Craig and Emma) and three beautiful grand-daughters (Rosie, Sophie and Hannah). In addition to lay-preaching, I enjoy playing piano, bass guitar, saxophone and drums (though not at the same time!); oil painting; reading and wood-working.
