Whilst originally built primarily to serve as a garrison church for Scottish soldiers based in Gibraltar,it served the wider Presbyterian and Reformed Christian community of all nationalities.
The church was run by a committee of elders. Until 2008, the church shared its ministers with the Costa del Sol congregation in Spain.[1]As of June 2009, and until the Church's closure in December 2022, the church's minister wasRev.Ewen Maclean.
The church is located on Governor's Parade, a small square which they share with theGarrison Library,the O'Callaghan Eliott Hotel and the previous location of theGibraltar Chronicle.
