Cleish and Fossoway churches @Kinross-shire Parish

Hello and Welcome

In January 2025 Cleish Church and Fossoway Church joined their neighbouring parishes of Kinross and Orwell & Portmoak in a grouping known as Kinross-shire Parish Church . Therefore the website is presently under reconstruction as we move forward with the union. Please be patient.

Additional information about the Union can be found here Kinross-shire Parish Grouping

Our website is full of interesting information about who we are, where we are and what we are doing, we hope you enjoy looking through these pages and that you find the information you are looking for.

Our churches are open to all people and we invite you to join us at any of our services or meetings. A warm welcome awaits if you should decide to join us for Sunday worship or any other events.

KINROSS-SHIRE PARISH CHURCH – VACANCY UPDATE 12/01/2026

Appointment of New Minister to Kinross-shire Parish Church

We are pleased to announce the appointment of a new minister to the role of ‘Minister B’within the united Kinross‑shire Parish Church. Sole Nominee Alex Johnson led public worship on Sunday 11th January 2026 in Fossoway and Orwell Churches, after which a secret‑ballot vote was held, overseen by Interim Moderator for the vacancy, Rev. Marc Prowe, and two members of Carse of Gowrie Kirk.

A clear majority voted in favour of Alex’s appointment, with votes FOR electing 193 and votes AGAINST 20. Alex has therefore been elected and appointed, subject to the approval of Presbytery, to join our Team Ministry alongside Rev. Alan Reid.

This marks an important milestone for our church, and we are delighted that Alex has accepted the call to serve in our parish. We extend our warmest congratulations to Alex and to his family, and offer prayerful good wishes for his journey ahead.
