Welcome to the website of the Free Church of Scotland congregations in the islands of the Uists.  Please go to the When We Meet page for our regular meetings, and the My Church page for  news of other upcoming events.  

The Free Church has been proclaiming God's Kingdom in the Uists for over 150 years.

We don't preach Religion, but the Reality of a real, life-giving relationship with God through Jesus Christ.  We believe that this Reality makes a difference.

And so our vision is to be a Church at the Heart of the Community, with the Community in its Heart.

There are two Free Church congregations in the Uists:

  • the South Uist and Benbecula congregation, which has meeting places in Lochboisdale (South Uist) and in Balivanich (Benbecula) and was established in 1999.
  • the North Uist, Grimsay and Berneray congregation, which has meeting places in Paible (Bayhead), Grimsay and Sollas.
