The spire of First Presbyterian church in Charlotte, NC fits in well with the towers around it in one of the major financial centres in the USA. "For Christ in the heart of Charlotte" is the byline on their notice board.
Although many churches in Scotland are now splendidly isolated because communities have chosen to re-locate, still there are plenty in a unique position at the heart of the community they serve. The community of Inverkip has grown phenomenally in the last few years but the church is still wonderfully placed in the centre of the "village". This is an enviable position that brings myriad opportunity and potential. And, since the church is in the business of caring for hearts, what better place from which to operate than at the heart of the community.
