Buildings
The congregation has been in the Bon Accord building ever since it was bought in 1977. Before this, they used a building on Dee Street until the building became too small for them during the 1970s. The present building on Rosemount Viaduct seats around 700 people.[1]
Services
As with all Free Churches there are two services on a Sunday, each service generally consists of 4 psalms, a Bible reading and a sermon as well as prayer.
