Presbytery Notes

Welcome to the Presbytery of Gordon. We hope that you will enjoy your time as a member of

Presbytery and that the following notes of guidance may be of some use and will enable you to

play your full part in the work of Presbytery.

Presbytery Meetings:

Presbytery meets for ordinary business at the following locations. Presbytery starts promptly at

7.30pm except in June when it begins at 7.00pm.

September, December, February- Presbytery meets in Inverurie West Church.

October – Tough Church

November- Ellon Church

March- Inverurie St Andrews

April – Foveran

May – Meldrum Church

June – Udny & Pitmedden

Presbytery welcomes students for the full time & auxiliary ministry, readers and trainee readers

usually at the June meeting of Presbytery, which is always preceded with the Sacrament of

Holy Communion.

Special meetings of Presbytery are arranged by appointment of Presbytery or are called by the

Moderator and intimation by email will be given in such cases.

General

Elders are encouraged to serve for an initial period of three years to enable continuity and

understanding of the procedure of Presbytery.

Elders and retired ministers can claim travel expenses for their attendance at any Presbytery

business. Travel claim forms are issued at the September meeting and may be submitted at any

time. Ministers claim their travel costs from their congregations. Conveners of Committees can

claim travel costs for extra travelling in the course of their work as Conveners.

Members of Presbytery are reminded to sign the Sederunt sheets at every Presbytery meeting.

Presbytery members will receive a booklet Remits to Presbyteries that contains items sent

down from General Assembly. Although not used every meeting it is advisable to bring this

with you at every meeting as items from it are discussed throughout the year.

The Presbytery Clerk is there to answer any questions on the procedure of Presbytery and

members of Presbytery should feel happy to speak to him on any subject.

A book of Standing Orders which describe and legislates the way Presbytery is run is

available from the Clerk for new members of Presbytery.

A booklet Guide to Presbytery is also available from Parish Education

Property Matters

Presbytery Spending Limits

Spending limits currently stand at £5,000 for buildings under review and £15,000 for buildings

currently expected to remain in use beyond the lifetime of the Presbytery Plan. Such limits were

set by Presbytery at the October 2010 meeting following consultation by the Property

Committee with General Trustees. (Presbytery Plan revised Nov 2012 changed status of

buildings)

Repairs to Pipe Organs

In May 2001 it was agreed that any congregation who wanted to refurbish their pipe organ at a

cost of over £7000 had to get Presbytery permission to proceed and had first to examine the

feasibility of a digital organ replacement.

Commissioners to the General Assembly

1. Each Charge is represented by the minister and one elder (not necessarily Presbytery elder)

2. Retired Ministers wishing to be a Commissioner should apply to the Clerk

3. The Clerk may be appointed as a Commissioner

4. General Assembly 2018: 19 May 2018

Presbytery Mission Statement

The Presbytery of Gordon is committed to: -

a) Provide and develop fellowship and support to congregations and ministers within its

bounds in their work and witness to the gospel

b) Ensure proper practice in all aspects of the life and work of the charges within its bounds

Church of Scotland Vision Statement

"The vision of the Church of Scotland is to be a church which inspires the people of Scotland

and beyond with the Good News of Jesus Christ through enthusiastic worshipping, witnessing,

nurturing and serving communities."

Presbytery Membership

It is hoped that each member of Presbytery will play his or her part in the running of

Presbytery. Ministers are expected to serve on two committees, Convenors of Committees

serve on their committee and the Business Committee. Elders serve on one committee but can

serve on up to two depending upon their interests. Corresponding members are welcome to

share in the work of the committees of the Presbytery and should express their desire to serve to

the Clerk. Whilst it is common practice for Committees to meet prior to the main meeting of

Presbytery, committees are reminded that if any report is to contain contentious or complex

material, that information should be sent out in the Presbytery mailing in order that Presbyters

can have time to examine the details of the report. All material to be sent out should be in the

hands of the Presbytery Clerk a week before Presbytery. If attendance at committee meetings

is impossible please submit your apologies to the Convenor in good time.

Data Protection

The Presbytery holds registration for all the congregations under its banners and this

registration is broken into four purposes

1. Staff Administration

2. Administration of membership records.

3. Fundraising.

Page 5: The Church of Scotland - PRESBYTERY OF GORDON Year Book Final.pdf · "The vision of the Church of Scotland is to be a church which ... CONVENER REV DR PAUL MCKEOWN (2015 ... Thomas

Page 5

4. Realising the objectives of a charitable organisation or voluntary body. Which really

covers everything else.

It is important that congregations keep the information they gather either on computer or on

written file securely and safely and do not hold information longer than is required

Church Discipline

The Presbytery is responsible for ensuring that church discipline is followed, by that we mean

the law of the church is upheld and that common practise is followed. Concerns or complaints

should be raised first with the Presbytery Clerk who may alleviate concerns with advice or if

required will then refer the matter to the Business Committee to deal with. There are guidelines

for making complaints and this is available from the Clerk.
