Kirk Session
Wardie Kirk Session consists of about 40 elders who have been selected from the membership of the church and ordained for life to the role of eldership. Our minister chairs (or moderates) Kirk Session meetings which happen about six times each year.
The Session is responsible for the spiritual welfare of the congregation and parish. It makes decisions about the life and work of the church and sets our strategic objectives. It is our role to give leadership and direction to the congregation. This is a big responsibility, only possible because of the guidance and strengthening given by God.
To manage the workload and deliver our work the Session has a number of committees or working groups that take responsibility for particular areas. Each working group reports to the Session regularly. Group members may be elders or members of the congregation. This gives everyone in Wardie Parish Church the opportunity to get involved in areas that interest them.
