Congregational Board |
 |
The Board is made up of the Minister, a number of Elders
appointed by the Kirk Session and an equal number of members of the
congregation elected at the Stated Annual Meeting. Members serve for a
period of three years and are eligible for re-appointment or
re-election. The Board meets four or five times a year and is
responsible for dealing with the finances of the congregation, the
maintenance of the church building and manse and with the
congregation's social activities. Board members service the three
sub-committees – Finance, Fabric and Social – which prepare the detail
for general discussion and decision at the main meetings of the Board,
in addition to assisting Elders in duties at weekly worship.
