Christ Church is an Open Church - open daily -
110+ people attended our Carol Service on 22nd December 2019
91 people attended on Christmas Day 2019!
A very happy New Year to one and all.
Christ Church, Kincardine O’Neil is a small Scottish Episcopal Church in the middle of Royal Deeside. It is a Scottish Charity, Number SC001675.
While many claim that small rural churches cannot survive without ripping out the pews, and installing screens and a drum kit, under David's Greenwood's leadership and somewhat against the trend Christ Church thrived with continuous growth in the number of annual communicants - rising by 70% over four years. Sadly we have to report that Rev. Dr. David Greenwood has left us to return with his family to the USA.
Christ Church has a strong plan in place for the current vacancy with ordained clergy kindly helping our experienced lay ministry team. It is good to say that congregations have held up well in the six months since David left us.
While we are strong on traditional worship we have recently incorporated more-modern language to make the services more accessible. We use the English Standard Version Bible (Anglicised).
Christ Church is an enormously friendly and welcoming church which strives to serve its role in the community as the only operational church building in a wonderful village. All are very welcome.
So why don't YOU come along and be part of what's happening here?
We're keen to build a church hall to provide desperately needed facilities - loos, kitchen, meeting room and storage. Plans are currently being drawn up and we'd love it if you could help us - which you can do by clicking the donate button below and following the very simple procedure.
