Welcome to Gillespie Church, Dunfermline!

Gillespie Memorial Church is part of the Church of Scotland, and is situated in Dunfermline city centre. We have a modern approach to worship, and welcome families with all ages of children.

A Church in the Town Centre or a Town Centre Church?

Gillespie Memorial Church, Dunfermline, was named after Thomas Gillespie, whose story can be found under the ‘History’ menu item above. For the past 150 years Gillespie Church has been a centre of worship in the heart of Dunfermline, with members from all nearby areas.

With the bus station on our doorstep, the building of the new Tesco superstore nearby and the regenerated Kingsgate Shopping Centre, we have now become much more involved in the life of the town centre.

The “Oasis Community Project” provides chaplaincy for people working in the town centre, an Oasis where people can meet and find a listening ear and an environment where people can receive support for the life challenges that people living and working in the centre of Dunfermline face today. The project includes providing continuing support for a town centre worker and the renovation of the Gillespie Centre to meet town centre needs.

Gillespie members are active within the new Street Pastors initiative, and in The Well project at Wellwood. Many other initiatives are ongoing - explore the website to see them!

Our Purpose Statement: To bring people to Jesus through fellowship, to develop them through discipleship, to equip them for their ministry in the church and life mission in the world, and to glorify God’s name through worship.
