An Aberdeen congregation is redeveloping a building acquired in Autumn 2018 as a place of welcome and witness for the city.
Trinity Church, Aberdeen was born in 2011 and had been renting Sunday space from a local hotel ever since. In recent years the congregation has been growing to include undergraduate students and, as a congregation of the International Presbyterian Church, Trinity looks to expand its ministry training capabilities.
Offered vacant church building
In 2017 the Lord provided an incredibly exciting ministry opportunity. The congregation had been saving for permanent premises of their own for several years and, out of the blue, were invited to view a church building which was about to become vacant. David Gibson, Minister of Trinity, explained: ‘We went to visit and found ourselves in a truly majestic set of buildings dating from 1904 and which includes, it turns out, Aberdeen’s biggest church at some 22,000sq foot. We were captivated immediately by the space on offer and the potential for gospel ministry.’
