02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our congregation belongs to the Free Church of Scotland and is made up of people of all ages from different backgrounds. We are followers of Jesus Christ and our primary purpose is to spread the Gospel (Goods News) of Jesus Christ in our communities and beyond. This means that Jesus Christ is at the centre of our church community. We meet together for church services to worship Him and to learn more about Him. We also seek to proclaim the news of His life, death and resurrection to others. We also host many informal gatherings throughout the year and aim to show Christ's love in action in all we say and do. We seek to serve God in our communities, neighbourhoods, workspaces and homes by serving others, and sharing His values of love, justice and equality.
