FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the church remains financially sound with income sufficient to cover all outgoings, having built up substantial reserves. However, the trustees note challenges related to an ageing membership profile and increasing maintenance costs for the church and manse buildings. The financial position is partly attributed to the current vacancy of the full-time minister role, which has reduced expenditure.
