Aperçu du voyage
This Outreach offers a rich mix of community engagement, evangelism, and fellowship. The purpose of this outreach programme is to engage with the local community through intentional acts of service, creative expression, and relational evangelism. By combining prayer walks, street outreach, and youth-focused activities with times of worship, rest, and fellowship, the programme aims to build meaningful connections, share the hope of the gospel, and support the ongoing work of the local church. Through this week of mission and ministry, we hope to encourage both the team and the community to grow in faith, love, and unity.
If two people register together, the total is £750 for both — saving £50 overall.
More about Campbeltown:
The small town is among the remotest in the UK and lies towards the tip of Kintyre.
It is a conurbation in demographic decline and has seen the population fall by 15% in the last twenty years.
In the 1859 revival the, then, almost 10,000 Campbeltonians, so packed the churches that new worship premises had to be built. Now, with a population of just over 4,000, there is an over-provision of places of worship. That, and the effects of secularisation, have resulted in churches merging with buildings re-used for other purposes (e.g. The Heritage Centre). In addition, the area now covered by the Parish church includes the two Church of Scotland fellowships in Carradale and Southend – with only one minister.
Another demographic feature is the lack of employment opportunities resulting in many if not the majority of the town's young people going elsewhere for career advancement following their educational process. Their departure is partially compensated for by a trickle of senior citizens coming in as retirees. Consequently, the town has an unusually high over-65 population representing 29% of the demographic total.
One positive feature is that the decline appears to have drawn the seven churches closer together in such a
way that doctrinal differences and niceties are being subsumed into “All One in Christ”.
The seven Campbeltown churches are:
- Springbank Evangelical Church
- The Campbeltown Parish Church
- Campbeltown Community Church
- Campbeltown Free Church of Scotland.
- Salvation Army, Campbeltown Corps
- St. Kiaran's Scottish Episcopal Church
- St. Kiaran's Catholic Church .
