Scottish Free Church

The Scottish Free Church, formally known as the Free Church of Scotland, is a Presbyterian denomination that separated from the Church of Scotland in 1843 over issues of church independence and governance. It emphasizes scripture-based authority, traditional worship, and a commitment to evangelism and social outreach. The church values ecclesiastical independence, maintaining its own governance and ordination practices. It has a strong presence in Scotland and worldwide, focusing on spiritual integrity, mission work, and community service, while retaining a conservative theological stance rooted in Reformed tradition.
