North Kirk, Keith:
History:
The North Kirk was opened in 1845 having been built by a group of Non-Intrusionists who previously worshipped in a small church in Land Street. It became a Free Church. In 1900 it became part of the United Free Church and in 1929 joined the Church of Scotland and became known as Keith: North. Newmill Church was united with Keith: North in 1970, Boharm Church in 1983 and Rothiemay came into the union in 2001.
Activities:
The church has a number of halls and meeting rooms as well as the church office which is open five mornings each week. There is a well stocked Christian Book Shop opposite the church in Mid Street selling quality cards, books and stationery. The Kirk Shop is staffed mainly by volunteers and is open Monday to Saturday. The shop and office can be contacted on 01542 886390. There is a wide variety of activities associated with the church, including Guild, youth groups, drama club etc. Contact the Church Office for more information.
