Assembly Arrangements Committee

Church of Scotland emblem

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Assembly Arrangements Committee, which is one of six autonomous committees of the Support and Services Council.

Remit

The remit of the Assembly Arrangements Committee is simply to make all the necessary arrangements for the annual General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. This involves advising the Moderator on his or her official duties where required and the care and maintenance of the Moderator's official residence in Edinburgh's New Town.

The committee is also charged with conducting an annual review of progress made in discharging its remit and provide a written report to the Support and Services Council.

Letting the Assembly Hall

The committee's role also involves responsibility for the care and maintenance of the Assembly Hall, on Edinburgh's historic High Street, which includes all arrangements in letting the General Assembly Hall as a major conference and events venue in association with Edinburgh First.

For full information on the history, facilities and availability of the Assembly Hall as a venue for your event, visit our dedicated events pages online here.

As with the other committees of the Support and Services Council, the Assembly Arrangements Committee reports directly to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and not via the council. Click here to find out more about the Church's General Assembly annual event.
