Church Ministries
Renovations
We are currently performing extensive renovations to our building’s roof and and masonry. But we are still open for ministry while these repairs are being carried out. Plese be aware of posted signs and safety precautions during these times.
Sunday Worship
We are a Church! Our mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. We are motivated by the love of God, which leads us to serve the lost, vulnerable, needy, poor, hurting, helpless, and hopeless.
We meet for worship every Sunday at 10:45am preceded by a prayer meeting at 10:15am. Our lively worship service usually concludes by 12:15pm and then we meet for coffee and fellowship. While many of us wear distinctive Salvation Army uniform identifying as committed members of the church, there is no formal dress code for our worshipers - come as you are! You are welcome!
We love to have children participate in our congregation and can arrange for nursery and junior church programs that run concurrently with our worship service.
Women’s Ministries
We have several programs providing fellowship and support for the women of our congregation and community. These include our CAMEO club, Women's Bible Study and small group fellowship. There are lots of activities included such as arts and crafts and educational and entertainment programs.
Youth Ministries
We have support and programs catering to young people ranging in age from toddlers to young adults. We provide nursery facilities during our worship services for the very youngest in families. Our Sunday School and Youth Mentoring programs give young minds a solid foundation for the challenges of life. Our older teens and young adults have opportunities to serve seniors and homeless members in our society.
Music Ministry
The public has a stereotypical view of our Brass Band tradition, especially at Christmas. We have a high standard of music making and have both junior and adult brass bands and choir groups that take part in our weekly worship services. We provide music instruction and instruments for members of all these groups from absolute beginners to college age music students.
Community Gospel Choir
Ayr Community Gospel Choir rehearsals are held on Thursdays at 8pm. Members of the local community and beyond are invited to come together and sing in a ‘Community Gospel Choir’ which is open to everyone aged 14 and above.
Whether you have a faith or not, can read music or not, or have never sung publicly before, all you need to bring along is your enthusiasm and voice,
All new participants will need to register and for those 14 to 18 years of age, parental consent will be required.
For more information just come along to any rehearsal where a warm welcome awaits you.
There is a registration fee of £10 for the session, to cover the cost of music and other expenses.
Rainbow Tots
A safe and stimulating place for our youngest children and their parents.
Songs of Praise
An occasional worship service featuring well-loved hymns and songs. We often invite guest artists and groups to enhance the experience for the congregation.
Digital Skills
Our Digital Skills initiative, includes liaising with government employment agencies, providing support for those who are challenged by information technology (IT), giving hands-on training for CV, Job Application and Online Benefit claims.
