Building and Grounds Even in a community of beautiful scenery and eye-catching architecture, the Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines stands out. The graceful lines of the church and stately pines surrounding the building beckon Kirk and community members to come inside and experience God's Grace. The building includes several meeting rooms, a music room, parlor and a handsome fellowship hall where after-church coffees, receptions, church suppers and other special events are held throughout the year. An important part of the Kirk's ministry is making this space available for Village community groups. The building is bustling with meetings, conferences and musical practices nearly every day of the week, year round. The Building and Grounds committee organizes this constant flow of activity and maintains the beauty and efficiency of the building and surrounding property.
