Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland

Reformed in Doctrine, Worship, and Practice

“Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth.” Psalm 60:4

The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland is a Psalm-singing Reformed Church with congregations across the world. It is committed to the inspiration of the whole Bible and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Saviour from sin.

St Jude’s Free Presbyterian Church, Glasgow

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

  • In doctrine, the Church’s only supreme standard is Scripture, with the entire Westminster Confession of Faith as its unqualified subordinate standard.
  • In worship, the Regulative Principle is applied consistently, so that nothing is brought into worship except what Scripture requires.
  • In government, Scriptural principles are applied to the life of the Church and to the lives of the people.

With written and audio content, the website seeks to defend, explain and commend the Christian faith in the distinctively Reformed context which Scripture requires for all Churches everywhere. A good place to begin finding out more is at About Us.

Bible Knowledge Online Course

BKonline is a Bible Knowledge course centred entirely on Biblical Christianity. It is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 12 and is suitable for delivery by teachers, by parents working with their children, or by children working independently.

The course is run by the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland. We welcome everyone to the course and hope that it is a means of developing their understanding of the Bible. Therefore, it is provided free of charge to students across the world.

Purpose

The BKonline course is an online study environment that aims to enable children to learn the sound teaching of the Word of God in an engaging manner. It aims to encourage children to develop a moral and spiritual compass that will direct their lives as they grow to adulthood.

Above all, we desire that the course will be a means of bringing souls to a saving knowledge of Christ. The servants at the marriage in Cana filled the vessels with water but the Lord turned the water into the best wine. Similarly, we must fill young minds with Biblical knowledge, but look to the Lord alone to bless it to the saving of their souls.

Structure and Format

When it is finished, this free course will be layered in 9 levels (Preschool to 8), suitable for children from pre-school age to age 12. At the moment, we have Preschool to Level 4 complete and available to users.

The core material of the course explores the teaching of the Bible (Authorised Version), using audio-visual material and a variety of interactive activities, teaching aids and assessments. It illustrates to children, from an early age, the need to learn that the Bible principally teaches “What man is to believe concerning God and what duty God requires from us.”

A free Bible

The Outreach Committee have a limited number of Bibles available for free distribution to people in the United Kingdom who do not have a Bible of their own. These English Bibles are in the Authorised (King James) Version.

To request a free Bible, please write to Rev J B Jardine by email (and include your postal address):

freebible.ws@btopenworld.com

A young man was once under great concern for the salvation of his soul. “What can I do?” was his earnest question. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,” he was told. “Yes,” he replied, “but where can I find Him?” “Find Him in the Word of God,” he was told. He took his Bible, and began reading at the beginning of the New Testament. He had not reached the end of the first chapter, before He found the Saviour he so needed, in Matthew 1:21, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.” After that, the Bible became that man’s most precious and treasured possession.

“The entrance of Thy words giveth light” (Psalm 119:130).

Please note that these Bibles are for personal use only, and are not for resale.
