The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland is the constitutional heir of the historic Church of Scotland. The Church of Scotland (along with the Church of Calvin’s Geneva) was the most Scriptural of the Reformation churches. Therefore, the principles of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland today go back to the Apostolic Church. In addition, the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland descends from the Free Church of 1843, and the Disruption of 1893.
Reformed Church in Vancouver
The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland endeavours to preserve faithfully the doctrine, worship and practice of the Scottish Reformation. For example the church adheres strictly to Biblical standards, exclusive Psalm singing, no instrumental music, fencing of the Lord’s table, strict Sabbath keeping, testimony against worldliness, and holding daily family worship early and late. Our claim to be Reformed in Doctrine, Worship and Practice is grounded in holding Scripture as our only supreme standard, and the Westminster Confession of Faith as our subordinate standard. The Free Presbyterian Church church is both a Calvinistic church and the Free Offer of the Gospel church.
Psalm Singing Church
The Book of Psalms in the Bible is the only legitimate book of praise in the public worship of God. Exclusive Psalmody is one of the many evidences of a Reformed Church and a Biblical Church. The exclusive singing of biblical Psalms in public worship excludes all hymns and songs of human composition. Moreover, Psalms are always sung a cappella (with no musical accompaniment). Also, the version of the Psalms used is the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. The Westminster Assembly reviewed the Psalter, and the Church of Scotland adopted and sanctioned it in 1649 for use in worship. Finally, this version of the Scottish Metrical Psalms is better than recent versions which attempt to modernise it.
