Denomination: Church of Scotland
Welcome to Kingcase Parish Church. We are a friendly, welcoming and inclusive congregation which has been serving Prestwick Toll and the wider community for many years. So whether you are new to the area, a visitor, or just haven't been to church for a while, we would be delighted to see you at one of our Sunday services.
The Church is within the Presbytery of Ayr and has a congregational roll of 630 from some 571 homes.
Most of the congregation live in Prestwick and Ayr, some come from adjacent towns and villages and others from the surrounding rural area.
The church is one of four Church of Scotland charges in Prestwick and is celebrating it's 75th anniversary.
There are 89 elders who form the Kirk Session, the governing body of the church in spiritual matters.
The Kirk Session normally meets four times per year with further meetings in connection with Communion or as and when called by the Minister. The session has several committees who meet on an ad-hoc basis as required, these deal with "Policy",Commitment", "Pastoral Care" and "Membership within 20 to 40 age group".
The Congregational Board which consists of all elders and a further 17 or so members elected by the congregation has four regular meetings per year with other meetings as and when required. The Board is concerned with secular matters such as property and finance.
There are three committees, "Finance", "Property", and " Stewardship".
A Kirk Session conference is held annually, often with a specific subject for discussion.
A "Stated Annual Meeting" of the congregation is also held at which the Board present their annual report, seek approval of the proposed budget for the following year and also elect the board members.
A church office with an administrator is open at the church each weekday morning from 9:30 to 12:30 to assist the minister, elders, voluntary workers and general members of the parish.
A church magazine is produced on a quarterly basis by the combined efforts of the editor, office administrator and a number of contributors.
