Welcome to The Kirk
The Kirk’s regular Sunday service blends traditional liturgy with inspirational messages that seek to provide God’s guidance when dealing with everyday issues of life.
You will find us to be a very open-minded and friendly community of people of many backgrounds and ages. Children are welcome in worship. We start in the service to enjoy our praise music together and then children are excused to their Sunday School classes.
We invite all to come, connect and worship with us.
