Our Vision
Our Vision in St Machar’s
our mission statement
In 2000 the Kirk Session of St Machar’s formulated and in 2007 revised a mission statement. This statement, to which the congregation commits itself annually, expresses both the faith and the aspiration of the people in this place, and it acts as a measure of how we do.
We, the Kirk Session and people of St Machar’s, reaffirm our trust in the sovereign love of God, revealed most fully in Jesus Christ whose love for the world is declared in the gospels and is continued in the ministry of the Church. We participate in this ministry through the celebration of word and sacrament, through lives of prayer and devotion, through education, nurture and pastoral care, through costly service to each other and the world, and more particularly in welcoming the stranger, the outcast and the sinner into the community of God’s people, in healing mind, body and spirit, in sharing our resources of time, talents, and money, and in gathering new disciples.
We celebrate our heritage as we use our historic building, music and the arts, as witnesses to the glory of God and the life and suffering of our Lord. We seek to attain Christian unity in partnership with the churches in north-
In these commitments we seek to take part in Jesus’ ministry to the world and its peoples.

In this country most churches and the church buildings are kept going by the giving of their members. Historic churches such as St Machar’s also benefit much from the generosity of visitors. When you visit St Machar’s please give something, out of gratitude for what you have seen. In the Cathedral there is a large donation chest and there are three card readers. You can also donate on this site.
