Welcome to Gillespie Memorial Church!
Gillespie Memorial Church is part of the Church of Scotland, and is situated in Dunfermline city centre. We have a modern approach to worship, and welcome families with all ages of children.

A Church in the Town Centre or a Town Centre Church?

Gillespie Memorial Church, Dunfermline, was named after Thomas Gillespie, whose story can be found under the ‘History’ menu item above. For the past 150 years Gillespie Church has been a centre of worship in the heart of Dunfermline. Members from all around enjoy fellowship, teaching and preaching.

With a new bus station on our doorstep and the regeneration of the Kingsgate Shopping Centre, we are now becoming much more involved in the life of the town centre. Gillespie Church sponsors a town centre worker to offer chaplaincy to the retail and business community (see the Chaplaincy/CALM page). Gillespie members are also active within the new Street Pastors initiative.

The “Oasis Community Project” has been launched to provide chaplaincy for people working in the town centre, an Oasis where people can meet and find a listening ear and an environment where people can receive support for the life challenges that people living and working in the centre of Dunfermline face today. The project includes providing continuing support for the town centre worker, and the renovation of the Gillespie Centre to meet town centre needs.

Our Purpose Statement:

To bring people to Jesus through fellowship, to develop them through discipleship, to equip them for their ministry in the church and life mission in the world, and to glorify God’s name through worship.

STOP PRESS!

The roof repair work has uncovered a steel beam which has become weakened over the years. Because this beam supports the gable end stonework, its replacement is a matter of urgency. We shall therefore have to leave the church for around 4 weeks in order to allow repair work to be carried out.

The service this Sunday (5th) will be in the Church, and on 12th September we shall be at Queen Anne High School. More details later - watch this space!

Spot the church...

Advance Notice !!! Alpha returns in January of next year. See the News page for details.
