Announcement of Sole Nominee
Kinross-shire Parish Church Nominating Committee
Update on the Vacancy Process, 14 December 2025
The Nominating Committee is pleased to share that they have now selected a Sole Nominee to propose to the congregation, to fill the vacancy in our Team Ministry here at Kinross‑shire Parish Church and serve as minister alongside Alan Reid. The person being proposed to the congregation is Alex Johnson.
The next step is for Alex to conduct public worship in the parish, after which the congregation will be invited to vote on whether to call Alex as minister. This will take place on Sunday 11 January, when Alex will conduct two services:
· Fossoway Church at 9:45am
· Orwell Church at 11:15am
There will be no service in Kinross Church that Sunday, and we warmly encourage everyone who usually worships in Kinross to join with one of our other worshipping communities that morning. It’s an important moment for us as one church family, and your presence – wherever you usually worship – really matters.
At the close of each service, members and adherents on the Electoral Register will be invited to vote. All votes will then be brought together and counted collectively by our Interim Moderator, Marc Prowe, at Orwell Church. All who wish to attend to hear the vote outcome are invited to do so and refreshments will be provided at Orwell. We will also make every effort to ensure that those members and adherents who worship online are able to take part in the vote, where it is impossible to attend one of the services in person. More information on this will follow in due course.
