New ‘healthy  church’ event

(L to R) Irene Nicol, Keith Knowlton and Gordon Strong attended the Healthy Church Gathering at Hope Church, Blackwood and Kirkmuirhill.

Around 90 people from congregations in the Glasgow and Argyll Presbytery of the Free Church of Scotland have attended the first ‘Healthy Church Gathering’ organised by the Free Church of Scotland.

Two main sessions were held. The first session focused on what it means to be a healthy Christian and what a healthy church looks like. Andrew Giffen, CEO of the Free Church of Scotland, spoke about these topics, with opportunity for discussion around tables.

The second session looked at what a healthy denomination looks like. Revd David Meredith, Mission Director, spoke about church redevelopment and the need for more ministers within the denomination, and Revd Neil MacMillan, Church Planting Director, spoke about church planting and the vision for 30 new churches by 2030. There were opportunities for comments and questions, and feedback. Sarah Robinson, Communications Manager, gave an update on communications.
