BALLANTRAE linked with ST COLMON'S

Unrestricted Call

This linkage, as of May 2008, combines two distinct parishes; one coastal and the other rural, in the beautiful unspoiled area of South Carrick. Ballantrae has a busy and supportive congregation, very much involved at the heart of the community; while St Colmon’s, with its lovely old kirk and fine pipe organ, has a long tradition of church music and liturgy and a core of dependable hard working members. Both parishes have a long tradition of a strong pastoral lead from the minister.

We are looking for a minister with experience of life and pastoral know how, who can be at ease with, and communicate across a broad social mix and lead these two communities into a new chapter of work and witness in their journey of faith.

The Manse, (a good family house), located in the lively seaside village of Ballantrae has been modernised and is in excellent condition. There is a very good school and an excellent medical centre. Road connections to Ayr, Girvan and Stranraer are good.
