New Students

frontdoorWelcome to the Silver City from Bon-Accord Free Church! Our congregation enjoys diversity in terms of age, culture and nationality, so whoever you are and wherever you’re from, we hope you’ll feel at home with us. Central to church life is the challenging Bible teaching, worship and fellowship. Bon-Accord comprises a large student component (60), and as a student you will have the chance to enjoy the varied weird and wonderful weekly youth association meetings, regular sumptuous student lunches and the student hospitality scheme. We seek to integrate and involve individuals into the family of the congregation through a wide range of activities and groups for fellowship, discipleship and outreach: kids club, mothers and toddlers, house groups, teens group, introduction to Christianity courses and prayer triplets to name a few. By reading information on the pages listed below you'll hopefully find out what Bon Accord has to offer you and at the bottom you will find links to get in touch with us if you have any questions or just want to let us know you are coming to Aberdeen.
