Tornagrain Community Church

Tornagrain Community Church (TCC) is a church plant from Smithton Free Church. Tornagrain is a completely new town 10 miles east of Inverness, capital of the Scottish Highlands.

The development plan envisages 5000 new homes, three primary schools, a secondary school, shops, employment spaces, parks and other services, covering a 620-acre site, expected to take 50 years to complete.

The congregation comprises all ages and is growing just like the community. During 2023 TCC began using Petty Church for weekly worship and when the Church of Scotland decided to cease services from Petty, it offered to sell the building to TCC.

Aquila completed the purchase in December 2023. TCC has made a substantial payment towards the price payable to Aquila to re-purchase the building, embracing Aquila’s vision to “recycle” funds for future gospel projects and anticipates completing the re-purchase from Aquila ahead of schedule.
