Who are we?
Tryst Church is the union of four existing Church of Scotland parishes in the Airth, Carron, Larbert and Stenhousemuir area of central Scotland.
From the present to the future
This union marks a significant moment in the life of our congregations. The new church is based on Kirk Avenue, opposite B&M in Stenhousemuir. While there’s a shared sense of loss as the Airth, Larbert West, and Stenhouse & Carron church buildings cease to be used, there’s also immense optimism and excitement about the future.
A new chapter
This coming together isn’t just about buildings; it’s about people. By combining our resources, talents, and shared faith, the new church is better equipped to serve the spiritual and social needs of its communities. A larger congregation means a stronger voice, more opportunities for outreach, and a greater capacity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with Airth, Carron, Larbert, and Stenhousemuir. This is a new chapter, full of potential, as the church looks forward to building stronger connections and making a positive impact across the four communities it serves.
Worship
Our main weekly worship takes place on a Sunday morning.
