Core Groups

These are the Core Groups which look after key areas in the life of the church and each is convened by a Deacon or member of the church.

Fellowship
This Core Group looks after the fellowship area of church life.

Prayer
This Core Group helps us fulfil our commitment to prayer.

Service
The role of the Service Core Group is to contribute to meeting the needs of the community within and beyond our church fellowship. The activities currently conducted to achieve this are:

Running the Quay soup kitchen/food bank activities on Friday evenings to provide food to consume and take away for those in need within the community surrounding the church.
Running the Popup Café in the church on Tuesdays and Fridays to provide a meeting place for people from within our church fellowship, from the local community and for the refugees who have been placed within the community where they can socialise over drinks and cake.
Co-ordinating our support for many of the refugee community placed in Aberdeen through welcoming, integrating into church and society and helping to create a sustainable future.
Co-ordinating the use of our church building by other organisations within the community where there is a need for a place to hold services and other activities.

Witness
This Core Group aims to raise awareness within the church of mission, both at home and abroad, and to coordinate practical support. The Church is an active supporter of missionary organisations and individuals at home and abroad including: Anurag Ministries (in Mumbai, India), BMS World Mission, Somebody Cares, Stella's Voice, and Work Place Chaplaincy Scotland.

Worship
This Core Group meets regularly throughout the year to review all aspects of worship in the church. They have particular responsibility for Sunday services, the Care Home service at Maryfield West. They plan for the main festivals of the church year - Advent and Christmas, Holy Week and Easter. It’s a big remit, but they try their best to keep on top of it all.
