South Lochaber Parish Church

 In April 2023, the three parishes of St. Munda's in Glencoe and Ballachulish, Duror and Nether Lochaber joined together in Union to become South Lochaber Parish Church linked to Kinlochleven Parish Church.

 The St. Munda's church has been sold. For 2  years, services covering the Glencoe and Ballachulish area were held in the Ballachulish Shinty Pavilion on the 1st. and 3rd. Sundays of each month at 10.30 am. These have been discontinued because of problems with the building.

 Services are held in Nether Lochaber Church on the 1st. and 3rd. Sundays of each month at 11.30 am.

Services are held in Duror Church on the 2nd. and 4th. Sundays of each month at 10.30 am.

In a month where there is a 5th. Sunday, a joint service will be held in one of the churches at 10.30 or 11.30.
