As a church we want to be a group of people who are passionate about mission, joining in and supporting what is going on in the city of Inverness and further afield. With that in mind, we have committed to giving 15% of our churches income to mission, both local and international.
We have 4 mission partners at the moment, take a read here who they are and why we give to them:

INTERNATIONAL: KIDS CLUB KAMPALA – The aim of Kids Club Kampala is to bring hope and love to vulnerable children and to transform poor communities in Uganda, reaching over 4000 children and their families each week. They do this in lots of practical ways such as kids Clubs, education and school sponsorships, supporting basic needs such as food and clothing and also many focused projects such as the Ewafe project which supports children who have been abandoned in the slums of Kampala. We feel honoured to support such a brilliant charity and excited to hear what they will continue to do and how we can partner practically in the coming years.
