Welcome to our website - we're glad you've visited!

 
Perth North Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland.
Our Mission Statement “To know Christ and make Him known” drives the objectives and the activities of our congregation.

We would be delighted to welcome you to join us at any of our four weekly services of worship.

We are a strong, enthusiastic and friendly congregation, committed to the development of a Christian witness in our parish, Perth City and beyond. We enjoy a variety of worship formats and we use multimedia as appropriate.

We encourage and promote engagement with young people and are always looking at ways of reaching and nurturing people of all ages.

We're not perfect - so you don't have to be to join us!

An informal, unpredictable, all-age worship service with greater use of contemporary praise songs led by our band. Monthly breakfast service in Church Hall.

A more traditional service, with organ/keyboard, choir and Adventurers' children's  group.  Creche on request.

Time for more indepth exploration of Scripture, more reflective in nature and sometimes includes interviews with invited guests.

From the Minister


A word of welcome from Rev. Hugh O'Brien:
"We’re glad you’ve visited our site and would be delighted to welcome you to our church services, housegroups and other activities.  Our prayer is that you would experience a deepening of your relationship with Jesus Christ as we worship and study God's word together.   Check-out our services under the 'Worshp' tab, each of them different in nature but all focussing on Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord - whose we are and whom we serve."

Discipleship Explored looks into the book of Philippians, a letter written to young Christians, encouraging them to stand firm and live for Christ. It is compelling, challenging and inspiring - particularly to those beginning the Christian life, because they are on exactly the same journey as the Philippians!  Also built into the course is a Bible reading plan to help every participant explore each theme further - and also develop the habit of reading the Bible daily.  Coming soon - check here again for details.
