ONE
BIG
FAMILY
Galston Parish Church of Scotland has served the people of Galston and the wider community in and around the Irvine Valley for more than 750 years. The current church building has been here for over two centuries. People from every walk of life attend Galston Kirk, enjoying the sense of fellowship that comes from being part of the the Christian church both locally and, through our work with in Malawi and with our partner church in Ahrensfelde in Germany. Moreover, like Christians worldwide, we are very much part of our local community, buying from local shops and services, enjoying the social life of the Valley and taking part in clubs, societies and other organisations that enrich life in our part of Ayrshire. If you would like to learn more about joining our family, please feel free to come to a Sunday service or get in touch with the minister, the Reverend Kristina Cook.
