Arrochar
Parish Church is situated in the small village of Arrochar which sits
at the head of Loch Long in Argyll, Scotland. A congregation of the
Church of Scotland, it welcomes everyone at its regular weekly
worship each Sunday morning at 10.15 a.m.
A Very
Special Church
To
the folk of Arrochar the Parish Church is particularly special. By
1998 the congregation had dwindled to just a handful of people; the
building was derelict, unsafe, and had been scheduled for demolition
by the Church of Scotland.
Now
the Church has been totally restored, most of the work being done
voluntarily by local tradesmen working with materials bought with
donations from local people. An Arrochar Parish Church Community
Trust has been established. This Trust has taken a nineteen year
lease of the building from the Church of Scotland General Trustees
and has undertaken to keep the building in an excellent state of repair.
Not
surprisingly with so much local enthusiasm, the congregation itself
has grown dramatically. Each Sunday around sixty people meet to share
in the Service and to enjoy the worship of God in their new and
beautiful Church.
A
Church which seemed to have no future at all is now a very active
part of the life and community of Arrochar.
