New to Church?
If you are new to church, new to Stirling, or thinking about coming to Stirling Free Church for the first time, you are very welcome.
We know that visiting a church for the first time can feel like a big step. You might not know what to expect, what to wear, where to go, or whether you will fit in. Please be assured that you do not need to have everything worked out before you come.
Stirling Free Church is a gospel-centred, Bible-believing church where people of different ages, backgrounds and nationalities meet together to worship and serve God.
When and Where We Meet
Our Sunday morning service is at:
Time: 10:30am
Venue: Cambusbarron Community Centre
You do not need to book, and you do not need to let us know in advance. Just come along. Someone will be there to welcome you and help you find your way in.
What Happens in a Service?
Our Sunday service is a time to worship God together, hear from the Bible, pray, and encourage one another.
A normal service will usually include singing, Bible readings, prayer and a sermon where a passage from the Bible is explained and applied to everyday life.
You will not be put on the spot or asked to do anything you are uncomfortable with. You are welcome simply to come, listen and take things at your own pace.
What Should I Wear?
There is no dress code. Some people dress smartly, others come more casually. Please come in whatever you feel comfortable wearing.
Do I Need to Know Anything Before I Come?
No. You do not need to know the songs, understand church traditions, or have been to a service before.
If anything is unfamiliar, that is completely fine. We are glad to welcome people who are exploring Christianity, returning to church, or simply curious about faith.
Our services usually last no longer than 1 hour with refreshments afterwards.
Children and Young People
Children and young people are very welcome at Stirling Free Church.
During term time, crèche, Kids Church and Bible Class are available for those who would like to attend. If you are visiting with children, someone will be happy to explain what is available and where to go.
Students, Visitors and Newcomers
Stirling is home to people from many places, including students and international visitors. We are glad to welcome people from different nations, backgrounds and stages of life.
Whether you are in Stirling for a short time or looking for a church family, we would love to meet you.
After the Service
After the service, there is usually tea/coffee and time to chat and get to know people. Please do stay if you can.
We know it can feel daunting to walk into a new place, so our hope is that you will find a warm welcome and a friendly church family.
