| Type of governing document Trustee recruitment and appointment |
||
| Sleat & Strath Free Church of Scotland is established by Constitution. |
||
| The congregation is governed and administered by elected office bearers (all volunteers) and its minister. The Kirk Session, being the minister and elected elders, has responsibility for spiritual oversight, while the Finance Committee, composed of Kirk Session members plus elected individuals, oversees financial and property matters. Under Charity Law, the Finance Committee members are deemed to be the trustees of the congregation as those with responsibility for day-to-day management and control. This is distinct from the role of congregational trustees who are responsible only for holding property in trust. |
