Vacancy / Linkage

Following the retirement of our minister after 25 years of service, the congregation has been vacant for almost four years while awaiting the outcome of the Presbytery Plan. It has now been agreed that Mearns Kirk and Newton Mearns Parish Church will be linked and will share a minister.

The Presbytery of Glasgow has granted Permission to Call, and a joint Nomination Committee, acting on behalf of both congregations, is now actively engaged in the search for a new minister. When a minister is appointed, the Service of Linkage and the Service of Induction will take place together.

The Parish Profile, which outlines the life of our congregation and the role we are seeking to fill, is available under Parish Profile and will also appear on the Church of Scotland Vacancies page.
