The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland is a Reformed Church that is the constitutional heir of the historic Church of Scotland, tracing its Scriptural roots through the Scottish Reformation to the New Testament itself. It seeks to uphold a full testimony to Reformed doctrine, worship, government, and practice.

We are Strictly Reformed
The witness the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland seeks to uphold is:
Entirely Biblical
An unreserved belief in the whole Bible as inspired, inerrant, and infallible.
Thoroughly Reformed
Not merely “Evangelical”, but a hearty attachment to the foundational principles of the Reformation, and a vigorous Protestant witness against Roman Catholicism.
Reformed in Doctrine
An unreserved acceptance of the doctrines of sovereign grace, as summarised in the Five Points of Calvinism, affirming man’s total inability, duty to believe and repent, and the preaching of the free offer of the Gospel.
Reformed in Worship
A consistent implementation of the regulative principle of worship. We sing Psalms only and exclude musical instruments and ‘festivals’.
Reformed in Church Practice
Adherence to Presbyterian church government and the faithful administration of church discipline.
Reformed in Godliness
The necessity of regeneration for experimental acquaintance with Christ, practical godliness, Sabbath-keeping, family worship, and separation from worldliness.
