David Robertson (Free Church Minister)

Rev David Andrew Robertson (born May 1962) is a Reformed Scottish minister, debater, and media commentator. He has been Minister of St. Peter's Free Church in Dundee, Scotland (the historic church of Robert Murray McCheyne) since October 1992, and was Moderator of the Free Church of Scotland for 2015-2016. David works closely with Scottish theologian Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson, who currently attends his church and shares preaching responsibilities.

David graduated from both the University of Edinburgh with a degree in History, and from Free Church College (now Edinburgh Theological Seminary) with a degree in Theology, in 1983.

David had originally planned a career in politics, intending to stand for the Social Democrat Party in his home seat of Ross, Cromarty and Skye in the 1983 General Election. However, a failed bid to become Senior President of Edinburgh University Students Association precipitated a change in direction, and in 1986 he became the youngest minister in the Free Church of Scotland (aged 24), while his contemporary Charles Kennedy went on to win the same seat he had hoped to contest; becoming the youngest Member of Parliament (aged 23) in the process.

Robertson has been Minister of St. Peter's Free Church in Dundee, Scotland (the historic church of Robert Murray McCheyne) since October 1992, and was formerly Moderator of the Free Church of Scotland between 2015-2016, replacing Rev David Miller.
