The Tron Church, Glasgow

'The Tron' has a strong heritage of expositional preaching which has been carried on through the ministries of Tom Allan (1955-1964), George Duncan (1964-1977),[1] Eric Alexander (1977-1997),[2] Sinclair Ferguson[3] (1997-2004), and William Philip [4](2004-present).

The name of the church harks back to the original location of the congregation in the Trongate area of the city.

The name of the church therefore calls to mind the need for unchanging truth in order for society to function and thrive.

The church was formed in 1687[9] and the founding members were determined to maintain a faithful biblical witness against great pressure to conform to the pro-episcopal establishment.

The congregation remained in the building on Buchanan Street until December 2012, when they moved again to the nearby premises on Bath Street due to disagreements with the Church of Scotland and their position on the authority of the Bible - an issue which came to a head over the particular issue of the ordination of Ministers in same-sex relationships.
