Scotland church turns 200

Derek Thomas

Crow Road Free Church recently celebrated its 200th anniversary with a celebratory weekend featuring special services with guest speakers.

The congregation enjoyed preaching from Derek Thomas, the former Senior Minister of First Presbyterian Church in South Carolina, and Neil MacMillan, Minister of Cornerstone Free Church, Edinburgh, as well as testimony from five former members who worshipped with the church over the last 50 years.

The Glasgow congregation started life as Hope Street Gaelic Chapel in 1824 to cater for an increasing number of Gaelic speakers in the city, before joining the Free Church after the Disruption of 1843.
