Glasgow – Knightswood Free Church of Scotland
(Continuing)
Our
Distinctives
Reformed – We
thank God for the Reformation and adhere wholeheartedly to
the Reformed Confessions especially the Westminster
Confession of Faith.
Evangelical
– We
believe that salvation is only by faith in the sacrifice
which Christ offered on Calvary.
Biblical
– We
accept the full authority of the Scriptures as the
infallible, inerrant Word of God and the only rule for
faith and life.
Experimental
– We lay
great emphasis on Christian experiences. Heart knowledge is
as vital as head knowledge.
Psalm
Singing
– We
believe in purity of worship – worshipping God as He
Himself commands in the Bible. He has given us a book of
songs, the Psalms, they are inspired and we cannot find a
better hymnbook anywhere. We sing without instrumental
music in worship because we follow the pattern laid down in
the New Testament.
Expository
Preaching
– The
preaching is the central part of our services. We do not
preach man’s philosophies but God’s truth. In expounding
the text we apply the Word of God to all of life.
Presbyterian
– We are
part of the Presbytery of Glasgow in the Free Church
(Continuing) which is a national church and indeed has
congregations overseas.
Church
Discipline
– We
believe in the importance of consistent Christian lives and
sound doctrine. As a church we believe in disciplining
those who flagrantly break God’s law, or who hold to
heretical views.
Authorised
Version, Reverent Worship
– In a day
when anything goes in worship and most churches aim to
entertain man, we try to please God by worshipping Him ‘in
spirit and in truth’. We use the Authorised Version of the
Bible because of its accuracy, majestic style and
memorability.
Loving
– Our
congregation is a most loving, caring and welcoming church.
