Gilcomston Church meets regularly on a Sunday for public worship and to be educated about what Christians believe. The preaching of the Word of God is central to the activities of the church. We partner with missionaries and missionary organisations to further the work of the church beyond Aberdeen. We continue to be involved with MTA in partnership with other churches in Aberdeen to help train a future generation of church leaders in Bible exposition. We have implemented this year an internship programme with 3 interns currently moving through a 2 year programme.
