WELCOME to NEW STUDENTS!

A particular welcome to you if you're arriving in St Andrews this week as a fresher or new postgrad (or even new University staff!). At this time of year, we are always excited to see new faces in the congregation, whether just checking us out or looking to make the Free Church their spiritual home in St Andrews.

Don't worry if you don't know what a Free Church is (or even if you do, you might be surprised!) - in this fellowship we come from all sorts of different church backgrounds and what unites us is a commitment to the truth of the Gospel and faithful, Biblical preaching. We tend to do this without a lot of fuss or frills and services are quite structured without being too formal or taking ourselves too seriously. Once the semester gets underway, there will be opportunities to get involved, midweek Bible studies and mentoring available.

If that sounds like the sort of fellowship you might like to be part of, come along to one of our services and please say "hi!" to us.

Also, there will be an Open House for students from about 8 pm on Sunday 9 September and again the following week at 118 Tom Morris Drive, which is a great opportunity to get to know other students in the Free Church (and there will be snacks!).

Hope to see you there! In the meantime please feel free to email one of us with any questions.
