The Kirk Session is responsible for spiritual matters and for the management and administration of the church.
It is divided into sub committees consisting of Finance, Property, Stewardship, Fundraising and Mission and Outreach, which meet individually and present reports to the Kirk Session for consideration and discussion.
PROPERTY
The Property Committee ensures that repairs to, and maintenance of,
church buildings are efficiently dealt with.
In 2016, a new heating system was installed in the church,
some pews were removed to allow for wheelchair users and baby buggies,
prams etc, or for anyone requiring extra leg room.
New carpets were also installed.
The congregation has enjoyed the comfort of a warm church during worship
and the Property Convener has appreciated that a comfortable temperature
can be reached in the church in an hour or so.
Previously the heating required to be running from the early hours of the morning
in order to warm the church for morning worship!
FINANCE
Our Treasurer reports regularly to the Finance Committee
and to the Kirk Session in preparation of annual budgets
and management of funds.
