"Proclaiming Christ"
A word from our pastor:
Our family moved to Scotland in 2010 and we love our adopted land. God blessed us with the opportunity to become citizens in 2016. People often ask us if we miss our homeland. We do not hesitate to say that we do not. When we go abroad we miss our home in Scotland.
God has blessed us with a large family of 6 children. Our two oldest children are now married. Benson and Christina Shore are pictured on the back left in the photo above. In front of them is John and Kay Lee Owenby. How wonderful it is to see God's provision of godly spouses for our children and to see these couples faithfully serving God. Katie and I still have 4 children in our home and we rejoice at how God is leading them.
Southside Free Baptist Church began on 4 July, 2010 in the village of Loanhead on the southside of Edinburgh. In February 2023, God allowed us to purchase outright our wonderful church building located on Dryden Terrace, Loanhead. We praise Him for His great goodness! Our church building is a wonderful tool to use for His glory.
We are not ashamed of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. As a church we love to share that message of hope with our community and our world. We thank God for the joy we have in Jesus Christ and we want others to gain the same wonderful experience.
Southside is a growing assembly of families and individuals. We welcome you to come along and see what God is doing at Southside Free Baptist Church. Visitors are always welcome at any of our 4 weekly church services. Please come along and visit us.
We hope to see you soon,
Pastor Ben Shore

Free Baptist Church was started in 2010 at the Miner's Communite Centre in Loanhead. We are not ashamed of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That Gospel (Good News) has the power to set men free from sin's penalty, sin's filth, and sin's bondage.
Jesus, our Saviour, wonderfully provided the only way of salvation. As a church we love to share that message of hope with our community and our world. We thank God for the joy He gave us in Jesus and we want others to gain the same wonderful experience.
If you visit our church, you will quickly find that our church loves worshipping God. The Word of God has the primary place in our services. We unapologetically declare the mind of God as revealed through His expressed Word.
We enjoy traditional worship service through singing hymns with instrumental accompaniments. We are also blessed to give back to God through tithes and offerings some of what He has given to us.
Free Baptist is a growing assembly of families who desire God to work in them and through them. We are a friendly Christian family and welcome those whom God brings to our church. If you want to be a part of something which God is doing, please come visit Free Baptist Church."
