Our Vision
To be a unified, welcoming parish that engages fully with our communities;
To offer vibrant, accessible worship and foster spiritual growth;
To be a hub of service, outreach, and faith for all
Our Values
Faithfulness: Rooted in scripture and teachings of Christ
Inclusivity: Welcoming all regardless of background or belief
Service: Prioritising the needs of the vulnerable and marginalised
Collaboration: Working together across churches, communities and organisations
Stewardship: Responsibly managing our resources to sustain our mission
Our Mission Statement
This unified mission plan for the new parish, encompassing the former parishes of West Mearns, Laurencekirk, and Aberluthnott, reflects a shared commitment to serve God by serving our communities.
By integrating resources, talents, and vision, the parish seeks to be spiritually vibrant, mission-focused, and sustainable, honouring its distinctive histories while embracing a shared future.
We seek to serve God by offering worship, pastoral care, fellowship, and outreach to all; supporting key life events such as baptisms, marriages, and funerals; proclaiming the Good News and nurturing faith in people of all ages; fostering community well-being and inclusivity; and stewarding our resources responsibly to fulfil our calling
