**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.|| |||| |**Objectives and activities**||| |**Charitable purposes**
**Summary of the main activities**
**in relation to these objects**||| |||| ||The Free Church of Scotland is a Presbyterian church adhering in
its worship and doctrine to the position of the Church of Scotland
at the Reformation. Sleat & Strath Free Church of Scotland is a
congregation of the national Free Church of Scotland working
towards the common aims - the main emphasis of our worship is
the preaching of the gospel - the good news of a free and
sovereign salvation through Jesus Christ alone.|| |||| ||During the year, the congregation met regularly for public worship and carried
out various activities in pursuit of the above stated aims.
The congregation continued its commitment to support the national Free
Church of Scotland both spiritually and financially.
The congregation is presently vacant (no resident minister) and is under the
care of an Interim Moderator an ordained minister of the Free Church of
Scotland and assessor elders from other congregations. The congregation
now depends on supply preachers each weekend.|| **2** **APPENDIX 1** ## **Achievements and performance** **Summary of the main achievements of** Maintaining the regular worship services and by the use of **the charity during the financial period** technology joining with other congregations online to access these services. ## **Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves retained by the charity, but recognise the pressure on the congregation’s reserves must ease. **Details of any deficit** **Donated facilities and services (if any)** **3** APPENDIX 1 Other optional information Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the truslees, report above.
