About The Charity

Founded through a collaboration between the Guthrie family, the local community, and Guthrie descendants around the world, the SCIO ensures that this important place remains open for worship, gathering, and heritage exploration. Our work goes beyond preservation: we are creating a vibrant hub for community engagement, education, and cultural celebration, ensuring that Guthrie Church remains a beacon of connection for generations to come. With restoration, storytelling, and global collaboration at our heart, the Guthrie Heritage SCIO honors the past while building an exciting future — one where every Guthrie has a place to visit, connect, and contribute to our enduring legacy.

Plans for the Church
We’re bringing our dream to life—transforming the Church into a heritage centre for all to visit. A place to explore Guthrie history, celebrate life’s moments, or simply find peace. Join our mailing list to follow our progress and be part of this special journey.
Plan
— Heritage Center
Opening in 2026, the Heritage Centre will be a place for both the Guthrie Clan and the local community to come together and celebrate their shared history. With photos, artefacts, and stories, it will honour all that is Guthrie—past and present—for everyone to enjoy now and in the future.
Preserve
— Preservation
The church is at the heart of our heritage, and we’re committed to preserving it for future generations. Through careful restoration and ongoing care, we aim to keep this historic building alive—not just as a landmark of the past, but as a vibrant space for gathering, reflection, and celebration in the years to come.
Celebrate
— Events
From 2026, the church will be available as a unique and meaningful venue for life’s most important moments—weddings, funerals, and special celebrations. Set in the heart of Guthrie, it will offer a beautiful and historic setting for marking these occasions, surrounded by heritage, community, and a deep sense of belonging.
