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

either by the congregation or by the Kirk Session. Members are elected if they obtain two-thirds of those

to put worship and Christian proclamation at the centre of community life;
to open our doors and lives to those who live in the locality,.
to provide a place where people can gather and feel they belong;
to widen our horizons to the world-wide church.
Where the local hall provides a community centre for all the people in the area, we seek:
to participate as partner5 in the activities of the youth and community association;
to encourage members to offer their talents, skills and energy to develop the work of the association.
to bring Christian values a nd service to the association.
Where people are acutely aware of the destructive and painful consequence5 of human division, conflict,
and power struggles, we seek to acknowledge our past and commit to be and become people of love,

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to its
members and the general public by making known the Christian Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through
the advancement of religion.
The direct benefits which flow from the purposes 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 their members or are facilitated
through presbyteries or are organised and delivered centrally. Local delivery is facilitated by central
resources in almost all cases. Public access is made known through the use of notice board5, printed
material, press advertisement, websites, and social media or in other ways.
The benefits are demonstrated through regular evaluation of the services 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 benefit flowing from our purpose is related to
Ministers, Missionarie5, Deaconesses, Irish Mission workers and Lay Agents who receive benefits as
result of their holding office or employment. However, this is incidental and necessary in order to further
our charitable purpose. There are no other private benefits. The beneficiaries of this purpose are
mem ber5, their fam ilies, other individuals that the Presbyterian Church in Ireland is in direct and indirect
contact with, the community in which pastoral services are provided and other communities throughout
Northern 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 Charity Commissions Public benefit requirement statutory
guidance.
