The role of Presbytery Clerk is held by the Rev Dr John A Ferguson. On 1 June 2020 the presbytery merged with Shetland Presbytery becoming the Presbytery of Aberdeen and Shetland with Shetland reducing its parishes to one, covering all the islands. There is currently a consultation process with a view to further mergers in the North East of Scotland. This forms part of the Church of Scotland's wider aim of reducing the number of presbyteries to around 12.This has now taken place and the presbytery is now called the Presbytery of the North East and Northern Isles (https://www.churchofscotland.org.uk/contact/presbytery-list)
