2 Roll
Our church membership as of 31 December 2024 stood at 352.
3 General
Revd. lan Wiseman, our Minister, leads Sunday Worship. His preathing is WeIkr￿lVed
and his pastoral work assiduous and much appreciated. He has achieved much sin
his induction as our Minister. in De￿rnber 2015. He is involved in the Presbytery of the
Southwest of Scotland meetings and committees. He also takes part in assemblies for
the local schools of which he is chaplain.
During 2024, there was one baptism, and tWBnty funerals.
The Minister and Elders conduct a considerable number of pastoral vists within the
Parish, and to members in local hospitals and nursing homes. Each Church member
re￿iVeS a visit prior to each of the four main Communion Servi￿. In additKin, each
member re￿IveS a copy of the Church's quarterty magazine °Grapevine.' Home
Communion is offered to aged or infimi members who are unable to atterKI Church.
CD recordings of wEekly Sunday Servi￿ are created and distributed.
There is a weekly volunteer transport rota which operates to bring members, mainly
elderly or disabled to Churth as ￿uired.
Our duty teams have continued throughout 2024 to offer a wami welcome to all rn￿be
and visitors attending Sunday worship.
Overthe year, the Churth's mission has been enhancEd by the efforts of many members
who organise, cary through or help provide a rich programm8 of religious, social and
fund-raising activities and events, not only for members but also fr)r our communty. and
for all ages.
Overall, Kingcase Church is in good heart. spiritually and socially, and is financialty self-
sufficient. We have much to rejoi￿ about.
4 The Future
As member8 of Kingcase we look forward in faith to support our Minister, serve our
members and our communty, and to advan￿ Chtisvs Kingdom here in Prestwick.
Wrth the agreed Basis of Deferred Union having been approved earlier this year, wort
has continued with the .completion of a Joint churches profile documenL Additsonally,

2025, whereby a nominating committee shall be elected. A total of Thirteen (13)
members. seven (n from Kingcase, and six (6) from St. Nicholas will fotrn this commrttee.

6 Fin
lal R vlew
In 2024 church income Increa￿ to £137,611 compared to £107,806 in 2023. However,
Kingcase did receiye a legacy of £25,398 from Dr F.. B. Wilson duryng the year and we
did withdraw £20.000 from the Cuthbertson Bequest. This distorts trE comparison with
2023. If the legacies and the l￿thdravraI ￿Ere removed our church income would be
£92,213 compared with £98,108 last year. Thi8 is a decrease of £3,895 or 4.01% below
2023.. However. the mainstsy of our income is the Glft Aid Donations, the FWO and the
Open Plate. The income from these three it8ms decreased slightly from £56.382 In 2023
to £52,471 in 2024. This is a decrease of £3,911 or 6.9%. This decrease was more than
offset by the re￿Ipt of the legacy mentioned already. There were also good incomes
from the Efforts Fund of £6.419 and contributiorts for the use of our premises of£9,515.
On the expenditu￿ side our contributions to Giving to Grow have remairth steady at
£50.344 In 2024 we paid £50,344 compared to £50,758 In 2023. The heating and lighting
costs this year are £6.450 (￿mpared to £1,475 last year. You may remember we
received a substantial refund on our gas healing bills last year. Wrth regard to our
property we started the year by decorating the thurth. During the year we had to renew
the manse roof to prevent furlher damage caused by falling roof tiles. The oo8t of the
new roofwas £19,980 and £20,000 was withdrawn from the Culhbertson Bequestto fund
this. Also the nlanse conservatory roof was renthyed the addition of a thick layer of
insulation.
The above resultèd in a deficit of £24,288 for 2024 compar￿1 to the surplus in 2023
which was £11,278.
The Trustees of Cuthbertson B4uest reported that the capital value of trte
investment at 31 st De￿rnber 2024 Mras £113,157. This compares to £107,112 as at 31st
December 2023. The Bequest generated an income of £3,437 in the year to 314t
December 2024.
6 Raserve3 Poll
It Is tha Trustees, poliw to hold suffiGEnt reserves to rneet current expendlture including
designated funds. At the end of the year the Church heid unrestricted funds of £13,010
of which £1.856 is the Guild and £18 fortha Sunday Funday Club. The remaining balance
of £11,136 is in the General fund arKI the Effort3 fvnd arKI thi8 18 regard&1 as *quate
