Bon Accord Free Church is a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland in Aberdeen.

History[]

A Bon Accord Free Church was created in the Disruption of 1843.^[1]

The current building was designed in 1894 by the architect Robert Gordon Wilson on the site of the Union Baptist Chapel and opened in 1896. Following the Union of 1900 it became the Bon Accord United Free Church. From 1962 to 1974 it was Bon Accord St Paul's Church before reverting to Bon Accord Free Church in 1974.^[2]

Over the years, Bon Accord has had a number of ministers, each making their own impact upon the Church. Throughout the years, the Church has maintained its commitment to the gospel and to a strong preaching ministry.^[3]

Buildings[]

The congregation has been in the Bon Accord building ever since it was bought in 1977. Before this, they used a building on Dee Street until the building became too small for them during the 1970s. The present building on Rosemount Viaduct seats around 700 people.^[3]

Services[]

There are two services each Sunday, a morning service and an evening service. Each service generally consists of 4 items of sung praise, a Bible reading and a sermon as well as prayer. The morning service will also contain a children's message and an opportunity for children to attend Sunday School. There are various Bible Studies and Prayer Meetings held through the week.
