Statement on the Presbytery Plan

15/3/2020

0 Comments

 
A series of proposals have been put forward by the Presbytery’s Strategic Planning and Mission committee that seek to allow the Church of Scotland in our area to continue to develop vibrant churches with reduced resources and fewer paid ministers.

Presbytery has asked that these proposals be shared with every local Kirk Session to seek their comments over the coming months.

It is important to state that, should these proposals be accepted, the plan would only kick in for a particular church or group of churches when a congregation became vacant through a minister retiring or moving to a new charge.  Only at that stage would the Presbytery examine how best to take forward any proposed changes in the plan affecting that community.
