The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland (FPC Church; Scottish Gaelic: An Eaglais Shaor Chlèireach, IPA:[ˈanˈekɫ̪əʃˈhɯːɾˈçleːɾʲəx]) was formed in 1893. The Church identifies itself as the spiritual descendant of the Scottish Reformation. The Church web-site states that it is 'the constitutional heir of the historic Church of Scotland'.[1] Its adherents are occasionally referred to as Seceders or the Wee Wee Frees.[2][3] Although small, the church has congregations on five continents.
The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland is Calvinist in doctrine, worship and practice and the community believes and professes that it accurately practices and adheres to the Word of God: the Bible. The subordinate standard of the church is the Westminster Confession of Faith.
