02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Banff Parish Church is administered in accordance with the Unitary Constitution of the Church of Scotland. Members of the Kirk Session are the charity trustees, and are chosen from those members of the church who are considered to have the appropriate gifts and skills. Our vision is to be a hub of the community and a beacon of light where all can gather for friendship, service and spiritual support, welcoming people of all ages and from all Church backgrounds - or none. To this end, our church is open to members and visitors alike, for regular Sunday worship, normally at 11:00am. Special services and worship events are held, including the annual Memorial Service, Harvest Thanksgiving and Remembrance Sunday (in collaboration with the wider Group of church denominations in Banff).
