The Parish Churches of St Leonard’s and CameronSt Andrews, FifeOur Aspirations:! To continue to be a welcoming Church, accessible to all, friendly and inclusive,deepening the fellowship between our members and with our fellow congregation atCameron! To be increasingly responsive to the needs of all people in our parish and beyond,through Christian love and fellowship! To be more than just a Church in the parish, also working with the parish community! To engage more fully with the students who live in the parish! To become a Fairtrade Church and continue to grow our support of organisationssuch as Christian Aid and Leprosy Mission! To attract new members, and encourage increasing involvement of existing membersof all age groups, particularly the young.Our risks:! As with many in the Church of Scotland, we are predominantly an ageingcongregation, but are continually involving all age groups in the work of the church.! We are aware of the challenges of involving young people and strive to build on thestrength of our organisations for young people (Jigsaw, FUNd club, T3F).! Many are active in undertaking the responsibilities of office within the church, but it isa challenge to get people to take on the major roles. We regularly reach out to newand younger members to ensure their involvement.! Financially we wish to keep improving our giving not only to balance the GeneralFund, but so that we can better contribute to ministry and mission both in StLeonard's and across the wider church.

Our Sunday School is small in number but big in enthusiasm with good leadership.They meet once a month in term-time, sharing the first part of the service before going out tothe Sunday School Rooms.There is a small but active Guild which meets once a month in the Hall between October andMay. Members also attend Guild Presbyterial Council meetings and the Annual Meeting.One highlight of the year is the Guild Coffee Morning which raises funds to support the workof Cameron Kirk and the Guild projects. Several members from other local churches anddenominations come to their meetings.The church is well-maintained and generally in good order. At the entrance to our large carpark is the former Beadle’s house which was converted many years ago to provide twomeeting rooms with kitchen and toilet facilities.
