Originally John Knox Free Kirk, established in 1844. In 1909 it was stated: The membership of the congregation is almost exclusively composed of the working classes, and therein lies one of the main elements of its strength. John Knox Church has exerted in the past, and is exerting to-day. a wide influence for good, but, perhaps, the greatest service it has rendered to the denomination in Aberdeen has been in proving that it is possible to maintain even in the very centre of the city and largely on the old lines, a large, strong, and flourishing congregation of the common people.
