Projects

Aquila aims to help churches across the United Kingdom to find and make a home in their community.

Aquila has successfully completed three projects are in Scotland. Several projects are under discussion and evaluation with churches on both sides of the border following encouragement from supporters to extend the charity’s activities into England and Wales.

  • On 27th February 2025 Aquila was delighted to complete the purchase of the former Stobswell Church in Dundee to provide a “home of their own” for Grace Church Dundee – more information below.
  • One month earlier, Redeemer Church Edinburgh completed the re-purchase from Aquila of their church building (well ahead of the scheduled date) which releases funds for other similar projects – more information below. This is the first successful example of the “recycling” of proceeds from one church transaction to help find a home for another church.
  • With the support of friends and patrons in both the United Kingdom and the United States, Aquila is discussing projects with several churches in England.
  • In May of 2025 Aquila was delighted to have helped Broughty Ferry Free Church of Scotland to have full access to its own church building. Based in the town of Broughty Ferry, close to the City of Dundee, Aquila’s support will allow Broughty Ferry Free Church of Scotland to have a former Baptist church building as their permanent location. Unlike Grace Church in nearby Dundee and other the other churches Aquila has helped in Scotland, Aquila helped provide support to allow Broughty Ferry Free Church to acquire the building itself. This is the first project where Aquila helped in this manner. The church family have ambitious and exciting plans to enliven and refresh the building to shape it for future generations of Christians, as can be seen in the artists impression.
