Established in 1843, the Free Church of Scotland is a Reformed Presbyterian denomination that pursues the advancement of religion by preaching the message of the Bible and proclaiming the good news of the saving death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Free Church has a network of around 110 church congregations and over 12,000 people of different ages and backgrounds gather at services each week to worship God. Local congregations seek to bring blessing to their communities, often by running cafes, youth groups, parent and toddler groups and food banks. The Free Church of Scotland educates ministers and many others through the degree-awarding Edinburgh Theological Seminary. The Free Church also runs a programme of residential youth camps for over 300 young people every summer. Local and global mission, disaster and poverty relief are supported financially through fundraising and awarding of grants to partners in Scotland and around the world.
