Our Mission
We are a worship centred community called to preach Christ by loving God, loving one another and loving our neighbours near and far.
Our Vision
• Maintain the importance we place on worship in terms of inclusiveness, biblical teaching, prayer, involvement of children and teenagers and variety of music / hymns;
• Utilise further the faith and skills of the congregation in the preparation and leading of worship;
• Continue building our fellowship in terms of increasing opportunities outside of Sunday Worship;
• Make outreach to and nurture of the young a priority in terms of recruiting youth leaders and offering regular groups / clubs outside of Sunday mornings;
• Increase the number of people and age range involved in pastoral care;
• Enable and empower younger adults to be more involved in decision making;
• Develop our Area Grouping with Huntly Cairnie Glass congregation and with Insch-Leslie-Premnay-Oyne congregation by working collaboratively in mission and outreach initiatives;
• Build closer ties with the local Roman Catholic and Episcopal congregations and with community organisations.
