Objectives and Activitles The Church of Scotland is Trinitarian in doctrine, Reformed in tradition and Presbyterian in polity. It exist5 to glorify God and to work for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom throughout the world. As a national Church, it acknowledges a distinctive call and duty to bring the ordinances of reli8ion to the people in every parish of Scotland through a territorial ministry. It co-operates with other Churches in various ecumenical bodies in Scotland and beyond. The function of the Church is to draw people together in the worship of God, to extend His care and love in the community in mission and pastoral work. It is a condition of membership that a person requires to be admitted on profession of faith, and membership is a requirement for participation in the Courts of the Church. However, worship is open to all, as is the provision of pastoral support and inclusion in Church -based community activities. The Church of Scotland has an 'open' Coffimunion Table to members of any branch of the Church or individual and is not restricted to members.

Currently this would equate to approximately £60,000. At the year end, the Church held unrestricted reserves of £96,16712024- £67,808) which is in excess of the reserves policy by approximately £36,000.
