Objectives

The overall object of the Church, as a Christian Church seeking to maintain conformity to the Bible as the Word of God, is to glorify God through maintaining and promoting His Worship in accordance with the Bible, and through the preaching and teaching of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to all and sundry. The Church is Presbyterian in Church government and is therefore ruled and organised by ministers and elders acting through Kirk Sessions, Presbyteries, Synods, and General Assembly.
