Since 2012 the Maclellan Family Foundations from Chattanooga, Tennessee have been regularly bringing together a wide cross section of leaders within the evangelical church in Scotland. The central intention being to serve the national church as broadly conceived: cross and non denominational, traditional and missional, younger and older, highland and lowland, reformed and charismatic.

​

These convenings have focussed on prayer, fellowship, training and conversation. The conversations often being led by well known speakers such as John Lennox and Tim Keller.

​

As a result of these convenings there is a growing desire to develop the goals of the convenings:

1. To enable wise grant making which blesses the church in Scotland.

2. To foster and strengthen fellowship and collaboration in the church.

3. To agree on a common approach that will empower the laity in the coming decade to be active witnesses for Christ in Scotland.

​

The Maclellan Foundation Scotland has been set up to help this happen and to be a focal point for grant making going forward.
