02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Ayr Free Church aims to meet each Sunday to worship God, to have Christian fellowship and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Also to provide pastoral care and practical compassion to those in need. We also support the work of the Free Church of Scotland centrally and the advancement of the Christian faith by encouraging other Christian charities. These aims are achieved by holding services in the church twice every Sunday. (The services are recorded for those unable to attend.) A midweek meeting for prayer and teaching is held every Thursday. Sometimes missionary speakers are invited to this meeting. Informal fellowship is also encouraged at other times for example lunchtime on a Monday in the hall. Elders are appointed to look after pastoral care and prayer notes help people to care for and pray for each other. Goods are available for folks in need.
