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.

Vocations

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. In January, Rev Nigel Chikanya speaks about his journey to ministry and we explore the theme: Rooted in God.

Recognised Ministries in the Church

Ministries within the Church of Scotland include ministers ordained to the ministry of Word and Sacrament, deacons, and readers. Find out more about these roles.

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.

Faith Nurture Forum

The Faith Nurture Forum assists ministries in every part of Scotland, giving special priority to the poorest and most marginalized, through the recruitment, training and support of recognised ministries of the Church and the assessment and monitoring of patterns of deployment of those ministries.
