Other

Kiltarlity Free Church is a growing congregation situated in a growing rural community 12 miles from Inverness. The vision of Kiltarlity Free Church is to grow a vibrant, all-age community of followers of Jesus. The congregation is comprised of a diverse range of people from different church backgrounds and in terms of age and stage. Our Sunday morning service regularly has over 70 in-person (if everyone who regularly attends was there on the same Sunday there would be 85 including 25 children). A quarter of the congregation consists of children in creche and Sunday School (Primary Age). We also have a number of teenagers and an active Teens' Group (primarily focused on those who already have a connection with the church). For a number of years, we have also supported the work of Young Life International reaching out to unchurched young people in the community.
