## **Easter Ross Peninsula Church of Scotland** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2025** 

The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the church for the year ended 31 December 2025. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Easter Ross Peninsula Church of Scotland is a charity registered in Scotland (SC012425). During the previous financial year a restructuring took place via a basis of Union between Tain Parish Church, Fearn Abbey and Nigg Church of Scotland and Tarbat Parish Church of Scotland. The basis of Union of these congregations was approved by the Office of Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) and the Church of Scotland (parent charity – SC011353) with an effective Union (merger) date of 1 January 2024. The church is administered in accordance with the terms of the Unitary Constitution. 

## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees** 

Members of the Kirk Session are the charity trustees. The Kirk Session members are the elders of the church and are chosen from those members of the church who are considered to have the appropriate gifts and skills. The minister, who is a member of the Kirk Session, is elected by the congregation and inducted by Presbytery. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The Kirk Session which met nine times this year, with other Ad Hoc meetings as required, and is now responsible for spiritual and temporal affairs within the church. Certain responsibilities are delegated to the Finance Committee and the Property Committee as appropriate. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The Church of Scotland is Trinitarian in doctrine, Reformed in tradition and Presbyterian in polity.  It exists 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 religion 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. 

Fellowship meetings, including refreshments and occasional lunches, continue after Sunday services, with midweek bible study and prayer meetings, plus formal studies e.g. Christianity explored.  For the young, we have children’s church, messy church, the holiday club in the summer break. A mother and toddlers’ group on Tuesday mornings, all are welcome, and the youth group on a Tuesday evening also open to all. CD copies of the services are distributed to the congregation unable to attend. The formal community services on Remembrance Sunday continues, bring many young people and veterans 

## **Review of our Achievement and Performance** 

Regular activities are the public worship maintained at Fearn, Portmahomack and Fearn during the year on each Sunday morning. Weekly Tuesday afternoon “Gathering” in the Tain church hall takes place each week for Christian fellowship and worship. Further Christian fellowship takes place each Wednesday evening at 7:30pm and all are welcome, at the Manse and other locations. We held occasional Sunday afternoon Songs of Praise in the Tain building. This in friendly concert with the other Christian denominations in the area.
