STRucfuRE AND MANAGEMENT
The Kirk Session
The charity trustees of the congregation are the members of its Kirk Session. Under the
congregation's governing document, The Code, the book of the constitution and government of
the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, the Kirk Session seeks to watch over and promote the
spiritual interest of the congregation and of persons not connected with any congregation who
are within its bounds. It ensures pastoral care is in place in the congregation and seeks to further
the contribution of the Church to Christian witness and service in the local community. The Kirk
session has delegated to its Congregational Committee the temporal affairs of the congregation
including administering all funds and property belonging to the congregation. Members of the
Kirk Session are ex-officio members of the Congregational Committee.
The Kirk Session consists of the ordained minister and the ruling elders of the congregations. All
members are entitled to propose, speak and exercise equal votes at meetings, except that the
Moderator, the minister in active duty in the congregation, has no deliberative but only a casting vote.
Stated meetings of the Kirk session are held at least twice In each year or as appropriate.
To be chosen for the office of the eldership in the congregation a person must be a voting member
and a regular attendant on its ordinances. The selection of those proposed to be called to the office
can be either by the congregation or by the Kirk Session. Members are elected if they obtain two-
thirds of those who vote.
Presbytery
Under the Presbyterian Church in Ireland form of governance the corporate oversight of a
congregation is the responsibility of a Presbytery which superintends generally the spiritual and
temporal affairs of the congregations assigned to it by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in Ireland. Second Kilrea congregation of the Presbyterian Church has been assigned to the
Coleraine and Limavady Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. The membership of the
Presbytery consists mainly of the active ministers of congregations assigned to it by the General
Assembly, minsters who have retired from active duty and an elder appointed by the Kirk Session
of the congregation.

Church and acting as its supreme legislative, administration and judicial authority, in dealing with
all matters brought before it. The General Assembly is normally constituted during the first week

membership of the General Assembly consists mainly of the active ministers of each congregation,

DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
The charitable purpose of the congregation is the advancement of religion.
Second Kilrea congregation of the Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian
Church in Ireland. The Presbyterian Church in Ireland, as a Reformed Church within the wider body
of Christ 15 grounded in the Scriptures and exists to love and honour God through faith in His Son
and by the power of His Spirit, and to enable her members to play their part in fulfilling God's
mission to our world.
Second Kilrea's mission purpose is to see people become disciples of Jesus Christ, baptising them
in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, teachin8 them to obey everythin8 Jesus has taught
us. Our vision is to see people from within the church and the wider community come to faith in
Jesus Christ, living the life of a disciple or follower who then seeks to make more disciple5. We do
this through our Sunday morning and evening services, joint bible study and prayer meetings with
Moneydig congregation and our mothers and toddlers group as well as the friendship group.
The congregation aims to live out its Mission and Vision as a family of God's people by being:
A Covenant Community". where our relationships are rooted in the promises of God by living
faithfully toward him and toward one another.
An Intergenerational Community: where adults intentionally take the lead to engage with,
encourage and nurture younger members to maturity in Christ.
An Outward looking Community: where we want the blessings of God that belong to Us in
the gospel to become blessings for others beyond the bounds of our community.
As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, we believe that the Bible is the
Supreme authority over all we do, and that the Westminster Confession of Faith, along with
the Larger and Shorter Catechisms set out what we understand the Bible teaches on key
matters of Christian faith and practice.

PUBUC BENEFtr srATEMENr
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to its
members and the public by making known the Christian Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through the
advancement of religion.
The direct benefits which flow from the purpose5 of the Church include the gaining of an
understanding in Christian beliefs as set out in the Bible and in the Church's subordinate standards (the
Westminster Confession of Faith and the Shorter and Larger Catechisms) leading to spiritual and moral
development and opportunities for response to Bible teaching. In turn, this framework leads to
practical expressions of Christian beliefs and standards in the local community such as through the
care of those in need {including the sick, disabled and bereaved).
Generally, the above benefits are delivered locally by congregations and thelr members or are
facilitated through presbyteries or are organised and delivered centrally. Local delivery is facilitated by
central resource5 in almost all cases. Public access is made known using noticeboards, printed material,
press advertisement, websites, and social media or in other ways.
The benefits are demonstrated through regular evaluation of the sep4ices and informal and ad-hoc
feedback from members, their families, and members of the public.
The purpose does not lead to harm. The only private benefft flowing from our purpose is related to Ministers,
Missionaries, Deaconesses, Irish Mission workers and Lay Agents who receive beneffts because of their holding
office or employment. However, this is incidental and necessary to further our charitable purpose. There are no
other private benefits. The beneficiaries of this purpose are members, their families, other individuals that the
PresbV(erian Church in Ireland is in direct and indirect contact with, the communty in which pastoral services are
provided and other Communities throughout Northem Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and worldwide which
benefit from our engagement with and support for both Christian and other secular organisations, charities and
individual members of the public. The Kirk Session has had regard to the tharity Commissions Public benefrt
