Peter Anderson
Peter Anderson is the Lead Pastor of City on a Hill, which he and his wife, Angie, started in 1998. CoaH is now a multi-site church with 6 locations throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians, and with an equally thriving Church Online community.
Peter has three main passions. As a pastor, he is passionate about the local church - for people to fulfil their calling, to share the good news, to serve and impact their communities, and for the Bible to be taught in a way that is profoundly relevant for our culture and generation.
Peter firmly believes in the power of consistent and audacious prayer. He is committed to facilitating unity prayer movements and for the last few years, has been gathering pastors and leaders from Edinburgh and from across Scotland to come together in unity to pray for revival.
As the founder of Go Global, Peter deeply believes that the church should be training, sending out and supporting church planters. Go Global is a growing family of churches established in Scotland, in Europe and across Africa and Asia, many of whom were planted out of Edinburgh, but who are all united in their love for Jesus and for making disciples around the world.
