The form of worship practised in the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland is governed by the Regulative Principle*.
Each service is structured as follows:
Singing of Praise (from the Metrical Psalms)
Prayer
Reading of Scripture passage
Singing of Praise
Preaching of Sermon from selected text of Scripture
Prayer
Singing of Praise
Benediction
* The Regulative Principle, as it applies to public worship, states that only those elements (of worship) that are instituted or appointed by command or example, or which can be deduced by good and necessary consequence from Scripture, are permissible in worship; and that whatever is not commanded or cannot be deduced by good and necessary consequence from Scripture is prohibited.
