Just recently the Kirk Session has
been discussing the values of our
church. At this year’s AGM in March
Norman outlined the five values
which are core to our understanding
of the ethos of High kirk Church.
OUR VALUES

High Kirk aims to be a worshipful,
prayerful community of people who are
passionate about God and making Him known.
Our core values will inform our priorities
and activities:

Gospel centrality – the gospel informs
all that we do as a church. We commit to
the good news of Jesus for everyone,
recognising that God’s Word needs to be
preached and applied in the power of,
and openness to, the Holy Spirit.

Intentional discipleship – we will
intentionally nurture Christian maturity,
engaging all our members, young and old,
in meaningful service and ministry.

Missional living – we will be faithful
witnesses in our everyday lives. In doing
this we seek to reach all generations and
all people with the gospel.

Generous hospitality – we will offer
welcoming friendship and sacrificial
hospitality to all who connect with us.

Joyful excellence – we will enjoy doing
things simply but well.
