For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake. 2 Corinthians 4:5

ImageIn this site you will find information about Freeland church, contacts and details of events and groups that are all part of our church family. There is no need to register.

Freeland Church has been at the heart of Bridge of Weir since the 1820's. During that time the church has had an emphasis on Bible teaching and community involvement. We have shown an independence of spirit and a desire to see Jesus lifted high.

As a church today our focus is threefold.
  • Clear Bible teaching through an expository ministry where we explore themes and books of the Bible at our services and in our Bible Study and Housegroup meetings. We try to apply the Bible to our daily lives and through that to become more like Jesus.
  • Our services are lively and relaxed. We use a wide variety of musical styles and people are encouraged to use their own gifts in leading parts of the worship. The focus of our services is always the preaching of the Word of God. It is always our hope that people find the worship fulfilling and encouraging and that through everything in the services people are able to grow in their faith or to come to faith.
  • We are a wide cross section of people who come from many different denominational traditions. However we are a family and families are very much the focus of our mission and outreach. It is very common for the younger children to wander about during the early part of the service and we try to make sure that they know that the church is for them.
