Serve

Find out how you can serve the Church, from becoming a minister to joining Councils or the Guild to helping your church make a difference in local communities.

Towards Ministry

The Church of Scotland is actively looking for the next generation of ministers. We seek women and men of all ages who feel called to serve the church and are considering entering our comprehensive ordained ministry programme.

Talking Ministry

Each month, we share a personal story from those serving in Christian ministry, along with resources to help you reflect on your own calling.

The Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae

The Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae is a complete record of the ordained ministry of the Church of Scotland since the Reformation in the 16th century.

The Guild

The Guild is a movement within the Church of Scotland which encourages women and men to commit their lives to Jesus Christ and enables them to express their faith in worship, prayer and action.
