NEW CHURCH BUILDING PROJECT
The New Church Building Project is now in its 10th year. The project objective is to deliver a new church building for the Tain and Fearn Free Church congregation which is fit for the 21st century and with a larger footprint to facilitate the growth of our congregation, Sunday school classes and the many outreach and community groups run by the Church..
THE PROJECT TEAM
We have a dedicated New Church Building Project Team made up of: Julie MacLeod (Project Manager); Duncan MacDonald (Architect); Fin Macrae (Digital and Media Communications); Maureen Ross, (Fundraising and Grants) and Ann Wilkie (Finance).
