Kirk Session The Kirk Session is responsible for the spiritual oversight of the Parish. Elders have been chosen from those members of the church who are considered to have the appropriate gifts and skills. Stewardship initiatives are regularly undertaken. Finance The main income comes from the giving of our members through Weekly Freewill Offerings, Open Plate and regular Standing Order payments. Congregational Board The Congregational Board is appointed from within the congregation and members of the congregation are invited to nominate individuals who are believed to have the skills and commitment to contribute to the management affairs of the Church, which consist of Finance, Fabric, Grounds, Social Pastoral (preparation for sacrament of Communion), most of which is done on a self-help basis. Board Members are appointed at the Stated Annual Meeting and serve for a period of three years after which they must seek re-election at the next Stated Annual Meeting.
