Our Church can be found in the small town of Crieff, in the beautiful Scottish county of Perthshire
We meet every Sabbath (Saturday) for our worship services. At 10am we have our Study Hour (with separate classes for adults and children). Our main worship service is at 11:15am and we often have other events throughout the week. The calendar in the right column will give you details of what is up and coming...
Our aim and vision is to be a community that reflects faith in God demonstrated by faith in our fellow men and women, thus honouring the command of the Lord Jesus found in passages such as John 13:34,35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
Come and join us.

Hard Wired for Power
Yesterday was my ‘first day’ off for months. Besides taking and making a few church related calls, I spent most of the day feeding an electrical cable through the studwork of our bathroom walls.* The proposed new shower in the bathroom needs power. After hours of drilling holes in very awkward places [...]

Dear friends,
It’s been snowing for a few days in Auchtermuchty, but we have a warm dry house, thanks to the good insulation in our newly renovated home and a useful connection to the national power grid. Fortunately our family is protected from the winter elements. Five decades ago life would have been much colder and [...]

Dear friends,
I do get frustrated when journalists use words like ‘unprecedented’ to describe unusual weather conditions. It wonder if they think that just because they can’t remember a similar situation then this is a sign that things are far worse than ever! As a teenager, I remember hearing preachers using examples from the news to [...]

Dear friends,
We all know that words are so important, and understanding them can be the key to experiencing the true meaning of a passage. Last week I became very curious when I was reading Psalm 91 and came across two words that I had frequently heard, but was not sure what they meant. In verse [...]

Dear fellow servants of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Last week at the end of Sabbath School, I sat as a visitor in a small Adventist church in England. (My Sabbath plans had been unexpectedly changed!) There is a stereotype that ‘Southerners’ are not friendly so I expected there would be a time of quiet as the [...]

Dear fellow servants of our Lord Jesus Christ,
It has been a very eventful week for the Holford family. The move to Scotland has taken us a frustratingly long time, partly due to an unusual boundary issue over the drive of our ‘new’ home. So it was a wonderful answer to prayer, and a great relief, [...]

Dear Friends
For those who were not at the recent SM Day of Fellowship, let me introduce myself in a ‘back to front’ way by telling you about me. I am Karen’s husband and Bethany, Nathan and Joel’s father as well as Tim’s father-in-law. I am Alison, Graham, Colin and Robert’s brother as well as being [...]

Dear Friends
Are you Jesus?
Most will know the story of the man running to catch a train who bumps into a small boy playing with his swap cards. The cards are scattered about the platform and the man has to choose between catching his train or helping the boy. He decides to help the boy and [...]

Dear Friends
By the time you read this, I hope you will also have received sheets of paper to write your part of the “Adventist Church of Scotland’s Bible”. Each of our churches and companies are assigned sections of the Bible and we hope that the act of writing out the Word will be an opportunity [...]

The Lord is coming – we know the time!
Adventists by the very nature of our wonderful and exciting hope are constantly tempted to study the ‘signs’ and try to figure out how soon is the time of His coming. We have been doing it since the disciples asked Jesus the same question in Matthew 24:3 [...]

Death or Life?
Last Sabbath I attended a wonderful baptism service for the Glasgow-Faifley-Paisley fellowships in which 23 folks became members of the church. I was privileged to address the candidates and spoke on the tragedy of people who choose death when by the grace of the Lord Jesus they can choose LIFE and life eternal. [...]
