Thrumster is a crofting community five miles south of Wick. The present church was built in 1900 after over 260 local residents indicated to the Church authorities that they would like to have a Church in their community. It is a very attractive country Church. Plain on the outside it has a special warmth and beauty inside. Many people have commented on the special peace they feel during Services there. The acoustics are extra special.

In 1968 the congregation of Bruan/Thrumster was re-organised. Bruan was united with Lybster and Thrumster was united with what was then Wick St.Andrew’s. The united congregation is now called Pulteneytown and Thrumster.
