Our Team

Right Rev.  Hamish Galloway

MINISTER
Hamish’s role as Moderator of the General Assembly of PCANZ – a role he will hold until October 2023 – means that he is not able to be at Cashmere full-time at present, but he is committed to taking at least one service per month, and is available for pastoral care.
​
He was previously the Senior Minister at Hope Presbyterian for 9 years, and before that was Chaplain at St Andrew's College, Christchurch, for 21 years
