Craigiebuckler Parish Church is situated on Springfield Road, Aberdeen.  The building, designed by renowned Aberdeen architect A Marshall MacKenzie, was opened for worship in February 1883.  Of the many interesting features in the building the most important is the complete set of stained glass windows by William Wilson, Britain's foremost post-war designed.
Today, worship is held at 11 am (10 am July and August) and follows a traditional pattern with a mixture of old and new hymns, other worship material, and the occasional participation of the church orchestra.  The atmosphere is relaxed, yet dignified.  Craigiebuckler caters for all ages with a full range of activities in the suite of halls.

Worship at Kingswells happens at 11a.m. each Sunday morning when we also have Crèche facilities (0-3 yrs ) and our Kids church (3-12yrs). We meet for prayer at 10 am on Sunday mornings and on the first Sunday of the month there is an opportunity to share in the Lord's table after morning worship.
Our worship style is relaxed, thus cultivating a warm family atmosphere,and offers an honest reflection between biblical teaching and life experience.
Kingswells is both an established and growing community and this is evident in the diversity of the age, nationality and life stories of the people who gather together for worship.
Our mission statement reflects that we believe God has called us to CELEBRATE the Life of Christ, CARE for one another, CULTIVATE personal growth, and COMMUNICATE the Love of God, by work and action, in our community and in the world.
We look forward to welcoming you.

St Columba's Church Building is located in the suburbs of Bridge of Don on the northern side of the city of Aberdeen, within walking distance of Aberdeen University Student Halls of Residence, and not far from the city centre. The Church meets to worship on Sundays at 10am and at 6.30pm. Home Groups meet during the week. St Columba's Church is a lively and growing Church, growing in love with Jesus and with each other. We're not perfect but we are learning how to forgive one another!
What will you find if you join us one Sunday? You'll find people just like you, single people, married people, young people and older people, students, children and teenagers, as well as people literally from all over the world. We have our hopes and fears, our faults and our weaknesses, just like you. You'll fit right in! We have a large ministry team at St Columba's and we focus on letting people use the gifts God has given them. Lots of us share in worship leading. The music is great and we think God likes it! That's why we do it!! Our minister is a preacher who loves to teach us about the Bible. We also have a good programme for children and for teenagers, and a Youth Pastor who makes it all happen. If you're looking for a church family, and you'd like to know God better, then we'd love to meet you.

After celebrating 50 years in the community of Kincorth in 2005, the congregation is now embarking on new era of involvement and service, reaching the community with the Good News” of Jesus Christ!

Our Morning Service is a friendly and relaxed service where we use a full range of modern and traditional hymns and songs. We are committed to worship that is relevant for all and use multi media forms in every service. Music and Drama are complemented by Video and film. Preaching is based on contemporary expository models.

The evening Service is often more informal, with a “Café Style” Approach! Discussion and participation can be part of this service and each month we have a communion service.

We are committed to re energising our focus on prayer and bible study for all and are currently looking at developing an Older Adults Ministry, equipping people at every age to develop and deepen their faith.

As well as the range of activities held in the church each week which range from Carpet Bowls on Monday, Badminton on Tuesday, Guild fortnightly Tuesdays, - we have a range of youth organisations using the premises for example Guides( Wednesdays,) Girls Brigade, (Thursdays) Boys Brigade (Friday)

We are also involved in an inter church and community partnership with Cove Church of Scotland and Our Lady of Aberdeen Roman Catholic Church, called BLUE HORIZON, a youth and family project which is seeking to invest in the community, see www.bluehorizonyouth.org.uk for more information.

Describing our selves as "Stockethill's Community Church" the Church of Scotland in Stockethill has three congregations providing different forms of worship at different times. Each Sunday at 10.30 we meet in Cairncry Community Centre (Forresterhill Road) for a contemporary and relaxed gathering. If a more traditional style of worship is to your taste, there are services on the first (Woodhill Court, off North Anderson Drive) and third (Stocket Grange, Stockethill Cresent) Sundays of the month at 10 am.
All these gatherings are focussed on building community and faith amongst ourselves, and to that end we also meet in small Community Groups throughout the week. Our aim is to help one another love our neighbours in Christ's name and way. For more information on how and why we do what we do visit our blog at www.northwest-passage.blogspot.com
