Scotland Ministries
MTW’s ministry in Scotland began in 2000. Since then we have seen strong development in the ministries with significant advances in Dunfermline, Nairn, Dornoch, Dundee and Glasgow. Over the next phase of ministry we will concentrate on specific church-planting partnerships with the Free Church of Scotland (and any other interested churches/denominations) seeking to support a church-planting movement using innovative church-planting models in urban contexts. MTW Scotland is also supporting the work of Solas – Centre for Public Christianity in Dundee. A major part of the work of Solas will be to provide training and support for Christians in learning how to proclaim the gospel in all spheres of contemporary culture.
