There are 20 men and women as Ruling Elders on the Kirk Session. This is the spiritual leadership team of Malone Church. It is made up of Ruling Elders who are appointed through an election that involves prayerful consideration by the members of the congregation and Kirk Session.

Each Elder has pastoral oversight for a group of members in the church and these groups are called Pastoral Care Groupings. The Kirk Session is chaired by the Moderator of the Kirk Session, Rev Kathryn Viner. Kathryn is also the ‘Teaching Elder’ at Malone.

The Kirk Session creates the Congregational Mission Plan, decides upon each years priorities, advises the Congregational Committee, acts as Charity Commission Trustees, appoints and approves leaders for the various church groups and activities, approves and monitors the various organisations who use the church halls, discusses pastoral issues, has responsibility for the Sacraments and takes leadership in serving both the church family and the local community.
