About the Parish Council
As a Presbyterian church our key governance, strategy and leadership functions sits with the Parish Council, which is made up of elders and members elected by the congregation.
Major decisions like the call to a new minister or approval of the annual budget are made at meetings of the congregation.
Ordained ministers have accountability to a regional body of the Presbyterian Church called a Presbytery.
The bi annual General Assembly makes the rules which govern the national operational and doctrinal functions of the Presbyterian Church. The rules of the Church are contained in the Book of Order.
Outside of the ministers, the key contact for raising any concerns about matters relating to the life of the church is through the ‘Parish Clerk’ who is an elder on the Parish Council. Our Parish Clerk is Heather Frost, appointed in December 2020.
