About us

Aberdalgie and Forteviot is a close knit, caring congregation brought closer together by worship sharing our two historic churches. Primarily a rural parish our members gather for worship not only from the farms and houses within the parish bounds but also from many households in Perth and elsewhere. Many people who used to live and work on the land having retired to the town still choose to travel to worship at Aberdalgie and Forteviot in order to maintain their strong ties with the people and places important to them and their families.

​

Membership

The Electoral Roll for the parish of Aberdalgie and Forteviot in May 2026 shows 137 members and 26 adherents.  A typical attendance at morning worship is 30 with a higher attendance at services of Holy Communion and other special worship opportunities such as our United Services. An up to date profile of our parish is available on our web site: www.aberdalgieandforteviot.co.uk. The Session currently comprises 11 Elders.

 

There is a wealth of talent and skills within the eldership with members coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. Recent events have forged a very cohesive sense of teamwork in the Session which is well supported by volunteers from the wider congregation.  

​

House Group

A House Group meets weekly for Bible Study and reflection; members come from both our parish and Aberuthven and Dunning parish. The House Group is open to anyone. During Lent an open Study Group is advertised widely.

Lower Earn Churches Together

We much enjoy worshipping together with Abernethy, Dunbarney and Forgandenny, and Dunning at our United Services on the 1st Sunday of every month.  And the joint newsletter (Lower Earn Voice) enables us to shout about what's going on and how much we're sharing across the Lower Earn.
