Church Information

Rev J A T van Dorp

Rev Johannes van Dorp was for about 40 years minister of Gisborne congregation in New Zealand, until he retired in 2011. Sadly, he passed away on 9 November 2013 after many months of illness. We express sympathy to his wife and family.

Free Presbyterian Publications

Bound volumes of volume 12 and of volume 13 of The Free Presbyterian Magazine are now available in hardback at a cost of £18.75 each.

The Works of Ebenezer Erskine have been out of print for some time. This fine three-volume set should be again available before the end of 2013, DV.

College and Library Fund

By appointment of Synod, the second of the year’s two special collections for the College and Library Fund is due to be taken in congregations in December.
