Portree & Bracadale Free Church – New Church Building Project. In January 2000 the Portree congregation was dispossessed of their church and manse. With support from the Board of Trustees the congregation purchased a new manse in 2002 and in 2012 they bought an area of land on which to build a new church. In 2016, the congregation was consolidated with Bracadale Free Church, and they are now preparing to build a new church to meet the steady growth the congregation has experienced over the last 20 years.
Anyone who wishes to contribute to the building project should put their donation in an envelope clearly marked ‘Portree Building Project’ and leave it in the collection plates at the church or the Seminary. If paying by cheque, please it make it payable to ‘Stornoway Free Church’.
