Denomination: Church of Scotland

We are a Fellowship within the Church of Scotland worshipping God, whom we know as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We confess Jesus Christ as Saviour, and serve Him as Lord, believing the Bible to be the Word of God.

​We encourage the use of our church by the community and this is gradually developing. The church has been used for a number of concerts provided by local choirs. These have benefited both local and national charities as well as the church itself. There is also community involvement, publishing a joint Newsletter, and jointly developing the church garden for the benefit of the school and the community.

The primary school, which the minister visits, and the nursery welcome involvement with the Church. The School uses the church for their assemblies at Christmas, Easter and Harvest. The produce which they bring to the church for harvest is then distributed to a local care home, and to seniors in the community.

Services are held every Sunday at 10.00 am. On the first Sunday of the month people stay behind for refreshments (with home-baking). This is served in the north wing of the church, the area used by children attending worship. There is no Sunday School. In the course of the service, several elders and members read the Scriptures and offer the Prayers of Intercession. All worship hymns and songs are projected.

Holy Communion is celebrated the last Sunday in April and the first of November.

Family services are held for Easter, Harvest Thanksgiving and Christmas. In June the local Community Gala Committee hold the Crowning of the Gala Queen in church. Children from the church and parish are encouraged to participate in these services, reading the scriptures and providing music and song.

A Christmas Eve Service is held each year, the offering from which is donated to local charities.

​During the time of COVID a link to the online service is emailed to members and is available on our website:
