The Kirk of Dunedin
CONCERTS
"Gathering People Into God's Embrace"
Welcome
The Kirk is a non-denominational Christian church in Dunedin, Florida. "Kirk" is the Scottish word for church. In 1967,the church started with a dream to minister to people from many back-grounds. Our membership is made up of people from many different Christian denominations. We invite you to one of our two worship services.
Our TRADITIONAL WORSHIP is at 10:30 am and contains beautiful hymns, organ and piano music, preaching, prayers and The Apostles Creed. Communion is taken the first Sunday of every month.
Our FAMILY WORSHIP SERVICE is at 9:00 a.m. and is more contemporary and casual with piano, guitar and drums leading the worship songs with a full childcare program available.
Hope to see you soon!
Begins Easter Sunday, April 4
About Us
What We
Believe
(click corner

The Kirk of Dunedin holds to these core beliefs. Nothing unusual here, as these beliefs have been the main doctrine of Christians since the time of Christ.
The Bible is Gods unique revelation to people. It is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God, and the supreme and final authority on all matters upon which it teaches. No other writings are vested with such divine authority.
There is only one God, creator of heaven and earth, who exists eternally as three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each fully God, yet each personally distinct from the other.
All people are created in Gods image and matter deeply to Him. Central to the message of the Bible is that God loves people and invites them to live in communion with Himself and in community with each other.
Apart from Jesus Christ, all people are spiritually lost and, because of sin, deserve the judgment of God. However, God gives salvation and eternal life to anyone who trusts in Jesus Christ and in His sacrifice on his or her behalf.
Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that must be received by humble repentance and faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross.
Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless human life, willingly took upon Himself all of our sins, died and rose again bodily, and is at the right hand of the Father as our advocate and mediator. Some day He will return to consummate history and to fulfill the eternal plan of God.
The Holy Spirit, third Person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin and draws people to Christ. He also indwells all believers. He is available to empower them to lead Christ-like lives and gives them spiritual gifts with which to serve the church and reach out to a lost and needy world.
Death seals the eternal destiny of each person. At the final judgment, unbelievers will be separated from God into condemnation. Believers will be received into God's loving presence and rewarded for their faithfulness to Him in this life.
All believers are members of the body of Christ, the one true church universal. Spiritual unity is to be expressed among Christians by acceptance and love of one another.
The local church is a congregation of believers who gather for worship, prayer, instruction, encouragement, mutual accountability, and community with each other. Through it, believers invest time, energy, and resources to fulfill the Great Commission reaching lost people and growing them into fully devoted followers of Christ.
We believe that baptism and the Lords Supper are the ordinances of the church and that they are a scriptural means of testimony for the church in this age.
These are our core beliefs. Of course the most important thing is faith in Jesus Christ. Why not pray and ask Him to be your Savior today:
Heavenly Father, I know that Im a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe that Jesus death on the cross is payment for my sins. Lord Jesus I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Come into my life and make me into the person you want me to be. I choose to follow you. Amen
SOME HISTORY
The Kirk started in a golf course club house in 1966 by twenty people who had faith that God wanted to begin a new church in Dunedin, Florida. With a deep love for Jesus Christ they began. After only a few weeks, joined by Dr. David Bronstien as their pastor the work began to florish. It wouldn't be long before they built at the current site and began an outreach through worship services and music events that would impact the community for Christ. Now, more than forty years later the facility has been expanded several times, as well as the ministry programming. The Kirk of Dunedin continues its mission to "Gather People Into God's Embrace".

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
Alcoholics Anonymous® is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
Al-Anon
For over 55 years, Al-Anon (which includes Alateen for younger members) has been offering strength and hope for friends and families of problem drinkers. It is estimated that each alcoholic affects the lives of at least four other people... alcoholism is truly a family disease. No matter what relationship you have with an alcoholic, whether they are still drinking or not, all who have been affected by someone elses drinking can find solutions that lead to serenity in the Al-Anon/Alateen fellowship.
DO YOU WANT FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER MEN OR WOMEN? Join our Men's Breakfast ministry once a month, or or Ladies Bible Fellowship Groups that meet each month.
DO YOU LIKE TO SHARE YOUR FAITH? Wonderful, see the pastor about how you can use this desire to grow the church.
