Inverness APC | Associated Presbyterian Church

About Our Congregation

The congregation meets at Kingsview Christian Centre in Inverness. We gather from many parts of the city and beyond to worship God through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Worship of God is founded upon his Word in preaching and praise. Our congregation sings unaccompanied Psalms led by a precentor. The Bible version used is the English Standard Version. A copy of the Bible and a Psalm book are in each seat. We believe ‘all Scripture is breathed-out by God’ (2 Timothy 3.16) and so, over time, preaching covers the whole of the Bible.

Our convictions are stated in a confession that is historic, reformed and Biblical – The Westminster Confession of Faith.

The spiritual needs of the congregation are the responsibility of the Kirk Session which has eight elders. In addition the Deacons’ Court has a further three men, looking after the practical and financial issues.
There is a creche facility available during the morning service for young children. When it is required a Sunday school class takes place which involves scripture reading, Bible stories and memory verses.

As a congregation we meet together for prayer and Bible study on Wednesday evenings. There is a zoom prayer meeting attended by the elders and other male members of the congregation on Tuesday mornings. Every fortnight there is a women’s prayer meeting. Individuals in the congregation meet for Bible study and fellowship in private homes at various times.

Every month we support a different Christian charity through fundraising and prayer. These include Blythswood Care, The Seafarer’s Mission, Barnabas Fund, Highland Theological College and Manna House.
Community Work:

Throughout the week the church building is regularly used by and available to other Christian organisations and charities. We arrange short times of worship in local Inverness care homes . This involves a brief address, Bible reading, singing and prayer.

Once a month we hold a community lunch, often with a visiting speaker. During the summer months we meet for Saturday afternoon walks in the local area. During the winter months the congregation have several Saturday morning café/ craft events for children and parents. Other social events include book stalls, missionary talks and film nights.

The facilities at Kingsview are extensive and modern including a fully functional professional kitchen, showers and male and female toilets including toilet facilities for the disabled. There is a large games hall as well as two additional classrooms for smaller meetings. There are also excellent parking facilities available.
