Governing document Hamilton United Reformed Church is a charitable unincorporated association and the purposes and administration arrangements are set out in our constitution. Charitable purposes The church's aim as recorded in our constitution is to uphold and further those who profess their faith, and to give of their ability and time to promote the continuance of public worship in the church.
Activities and achievements
During 2025, despite having been in vacancy, we were able to continue to offer weekly worship in the church thanks to various retired ministers, lay preachers and the elders as we continued to explore and progress the possibility of forming a new Joint Pastorate with East Kilbride URC and Rutherglen URC . However it became obvious that we were going to struggle to meet any required commitments to the new pastorate. We had several difficult meetings before it was proposed that we close the Church and dissolve the charity which was sadly but unanimously agreed by a Church Meeting A Closing Service was held on 30 September 2026 and the six remaining elders now continue to progress the necessary legal requirements to dispose of the assets according to our constitution and dissolve the charity.
