New to Church? Welcome!
Church is a group of people, not a pile of bricks. Banchory Christian Fellowship Church is a group of people from different backgrounds, experiences, and nations. We are people who know that we are weak, broken, selfish and we have alienated ourselves from God. But we also have come to know that even while we were his enemies, God came running after us to win us back! This is the message at the heart of the Bible's story often called The Gospel. God sent his son Jesus Christ to pay the price needed to bring us back to God. We love God becaue he loved us first, and so we gather as a church to celebrate what God has done for us in song and worship, to learn more about him and ourselves through the Bible, and to admit our continued need of him in prayer.
As a church we are always delighted to welcome new people to join us. If you are seeking to find out more about what Christians believe, to find out more about God, and to understand what church is all about, please join us, we'd love to meet you!
Our Sunday Morning Worship is held at 11am weekly and our Sunday Evening Service at 6pm weekly.
We have regular courses for people looking to explore faith. Whatever your stage in your journey we have a course for you. Check out our Explore Faith Courses on the 'What's on page'.
