02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The main opportunity for all those involved with the church to gather together is on a Sunday when we hold two services which focus on the teaching of Christianity from the Bible, praying and worshipping together and encouraging one another. Services and other events are live streamed, enabling a wide participation from people at home and abroad. In the Edinburgh area there are about thirty regular activities seeking to help groups such as children, teenagers, students, families and the homeless work out Biblical principles in practice. Activities include pre-marital Biblical counselling, working with families to strengthen family units, helping students and young workers to manage the pressures upon them and to live productive lives. Work around the world is supported mainly through members who have gone to make a difference in other people's lives.
