Kirk Session

The Kirk Session meets tonight. The Kirk Session at Hilton Church has around 12 elders which is a very small number compared to most congregations. In our congregation, we have five ministry teams which lead the core areas of Ministry - Evangelism, Discipleship, Service, Administration and Worship. The majority of the work is initiated and carried out by the various teams, with the Kirk Session having an overall leadership role in terms of the direction the church moves in.

Tonight, we will be looking at a variety of issues including a proposal to consider more carefully how eco friendly our congregation is. The main item for consideration will be centred around the future shape of the congregation/s at Hilton. We have a relatively small worship space (300 max) and for many years we have been operating at near capacity every Sunday. We have been considering the possibility of establishing a second morning service for a considerable period of time. If we are going to do this in the autumn, some decisions in this direction will need to be made tonight.
