Bon Accord Free Church is a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland in Aberdeen.

History

Over the years, Bon Accord has had a number of ministers, each making their own impact upon the Church. Throughout the years, the Church has maintained its commitment to the gospel and to a strong preaching ministry [Bon Accord Centenary booklet] .

Ministers

The most recent minister was Rev. Iver Martin who came to Bon Accord in 1997 and left in 2003 to go to the Isle of Lewis.

Buildings

The congregation has been in the Bon Accord building ever since it was bought in 1977. Before this, they used a building on Dee Street until the building became too small for them during the 1970s. The present building on Rosemount Viaduct seats around 700 people. [Bon Accord Centenary booklet]

ervices

As with all Free Churches there are two services on a Sunday, each service generally consists of 4 psalms, a Bible reading and a sermon as well as prayer.
