The Church of Scotland is one of Scotland's largest charities and most active voluntary organisations. We have 400,000 members, with more regularly involved in local congregations and our work.

Within the organisation, we have around 850 ministers serving in parishes and chaplaincies, supported by professional and administrative staff. Most of our parishes are in Scotland, but there are also congregations in England, across Europe and in the rest of the world, where we also work with many partner churches.

The Church of Scotland works with communities worldwide. At the heart of our work to achieve these aims is one of the largest organisations in Scotland that has a pivotal role in Scottish society and indeed religion throughout the world.
