Now is the time for Church of Scotland members to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with a world that's ready to hear it, the General Assembly has heard.

They have been urged to deepen their relationship with Him through Scripture, prayer and discipleship – and rebuild His church.

A report presented to the General Assembly said that even in a time of disappointment, lament and frustration at a decline in membership of more than one million since the 1950s, its people have a "profound calling to proclaim and serve the Gospel".

They can live in the hope that fruitful opportunities to fulfil this calling are abundant and will continue to arise as there is a new curiosity about Jesus emerging in Scotland.

Prepared by the Theological Forum and the Faith Action Programme Leadership Team (FAPLT), it says there are now "whole generations who have not heard the Gospel, and who are respectful of spiritual ideas and receptive to fresh insights".

The news comes as new figures show there were 3,292 professions of faith in the Church of Scotland between 2021-2025, with 820 in 2025.

The Church of Scotland has apologised for its historical relationships with chattel slavery.

The apology, which was adopted today at the General Assembly, said that the Kirk is "grieved beyond telling by the extraordinary suffering we have inflicted – through our actions and our inaction – on our brothers and sisters."

It added: "We repent, committing ourselves to changing course and bearing fruit worthy of repentance."
