Introduction

The Presbytery of Gordon is located in the North-East of Scotland, North and West of Aberdeen city.

Many of its 30 congregations serve rural areas, however, many residents are involved in the oil and gas industries or related businesses, some working offshore on a regular basis.

Central to the Church of Scotland is our love and worship of God through following the Lord Jesus Christ.  Worship within the Church of Scotland is for everybody and patterns of worship vary from church to church which means that people can find a place of worship where they feel comfortable.

Doric Lord's Prayer

Presbytery's function is to exercise a leadership role designed to empower and support congregations in the fulfilment of their calling to be the people of God in their own localities. Membership consists of Ministers, Deacons and Elders from congregations within the Presbytery bounds.
