Church announces consultation in Mission and Discipleship

Up to 20 jobs may be lost and three regional offices closed following a review by the Church of Scotland’s Mission and Discipleship Council.

The review found that the Council’s core objective of defining the overall mission of the Church was not being achieved effectively and efficiently.

Now a consultation has been launched with employees over recommendations to centralise the work of the Council and focus on the key areas of Worship, Witness and Discipleship.

Under the proposals three regional offices in Glasgow, Perth and Inverness would close and the number of posts across the Council would be reduced. This would help to address the £1.2m deficit faced by Mission and Discipleship.
