	Who Are We ?
	The Free Presbyterian Church is a growing Presbyterian denomination which is serving the Lord throughout the world in such countries as Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Spain, Australia, Canada and the United States. We are a Protestant, Bible-believing church, Presbyterian in doctrine and worship. Our motto is that of the Reformers: “The Scriptures only.” Believing the Bible to be the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God, we hold it to be the final authority for all our belief and practice. We acknowledge the Bible’s revelation of God as One Who is absolutely sovereign, preaching that “salvation is of the Lord” (Jonah 2:9). We adhere to the exposition of Scriptural doctrine set forth in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Articles of Faith of the Free Presbyterian Church.


	Why “Free” Presbyterian?
	Since God’s people are to be “separated unto the Gospel” (Romans 1:1), we are free from all association with liberalism or ecumenism. To be precise, we have no affiliation with the World or Irish Councils of Churches, or the Charismatic movement. It is only as the Lord’s people are free from entanglement with theological compromise, that they are at liberty to proclaim the whole counsel of God.

	Points of Emphasis
	We encourage God’s people to an earnest and serious study of God’s Word, as it is the direct revelation of His will and the source of spiritual growth and strength. Believing that prayer is the life of the Church, we stress the vital importance of the prayer life of the Christian, seeking to foster the sense of our utter dependence upon God alone. In these days of great spiritual apathy, we pray continually that God would once again send a gracious revival to His Church.

What Do We Preach?

“we preach Christ crucified”
(1 Corinthians 1:23).

This is the message of God’s Word that every soul needs to hear. Therefore, Christ is central to all of our preaching. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that the love of Christ is the Christian’s motivation for holy living.

Thus, we have a message of grace and salvation for guilty souls and hope and encouragement for burdened souls. Many have never discovered the peace, joy, and assurance a truly Christ-centred ministry can bring. We invite you to come and learn for yourself of the glorious fullness that there is in Christ, “the way, the truth, and the life.”

There is a blessing for you and your family as you attend these services where Christ is exalted. Plan to be with us this Lord’s Day.
