In line with current government guidelines and based on guidance from
The Free Church of Scotland Board of Trustees, we have stopped all public church gatherings with immediate effect until further notice. Although the congregation are unable to gather in public, from Sunday 22nd March 2020 we will be gathering virtually online on Sundays at 11am for you to watch from the safety of your home.
Our online services are available each Sunday from 11am. If you log on to this website before that time you won't be able to watch the video for that date till 11am - then afterwards it continues to be able to be heard or seen, on SoundCloud or on YouTube ('Nairn Free Church').
This Sunday, June 28th, our sermon title is 'True or False?' which is based on 1 John 4 1-6, and it will be preached as usual by our own minister, Rev Murdo MacLeod. It looks at the always-relevant issue of how we can tell true preaching and teaching from that which is false.
On Sunday mornings we are currently studying John's first letter, and this is the tenth sermon in that series - the previous ones are still available on YouTube, (search Nairn Free Church), as well as elsewhere on this website.
We believe that the Bible is God's written word, and that through it he speaks to us, even today. Whether you have a deep, long-held faith, or whether you would claim to have a very small faith, or whether you are still searching for truth and meaning in life, God speaks and invites us to know him through his Son, Jesus Christ. Millions around the world have discovered the Christian message to be true and have found forgiveness for their sins in Jesus, and thousands more make that great discovery every single day.
Do bear in mind that other services are available, both locally and further afield. Details of some of these services in the Inverness, Lochaber & Ross Presbytery can be found below. Services from other presbyteries can be found at freechurch.org/online-services.
