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 was Rev. Ewen Maclean.
The church is located on Governor's Parade, a small square which they share with the Garrison Library, the O'Callaghan Eliott Hotel and the previous location of the Gibraltar Chronicle.
In December 2022 the building is closed as a Church of Scotland place of worship. A farewell service, attended by Sir David Steel, Governor of Gibraltar, took place on 20 November 2022. Video from GTV available to watch, dated 21 November 2022.
