Our Beliefs & Mission
A Bible-Focussed Church
As a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland, we believe wholeheartedly that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. As a result, everything we do, from the way we worship and what we proclaim, seeks to reflect clear Biblical teaching.
That’s why, for example, in our worship we sing only the words of the Bible, hear them read, explained, and applied to our lives in a sermon, and pray for God’s promises in the Bible to be fulfilled in the different circumstances of our lives.
A Jesus-Focussed Church
The central focus of the whole Bible is to be found in a person – Jesus Christ.
At the heart of the identity of our church is a passion for sharing the good news about Jesus Christ (the Gospel) and a desire to live in the light of this.
Therefore, each Sunday you will hear the same wonderful message explained from the Bible and applied to everyday life. That wonderful message is this: that Jesus Christ (both fully God and fully human) came into the world to seek out and rescue lost, sinful men and women, by bearing their guilt and condemnation on his Cross and rising again to life in victory over sin and death and hell. Because of what Jesus did, Christians live transformed lives.
It is this message, far more than any historic or cultural distinctive, that defines us.
A Mission – Focussed Church
We believe that the gospel message is for everyone. Jesus commanded his church to ‘go and make disciples of all nations’ (Matthew 28:19). Trotternish Free Church’s great desire is to make Jesus known to the community in North Skye and beyond because the gospel changes lives.
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
