Christ Church is a vibrant community that welcomes people of strong, little or no faith to join us as we seek to understand Jesus' teachings and what they mean for us today.
We have a range of styles of Christian worship across our many services, which include said and sung Eucharist, Taize and silent prayer. Our main Sunday service at 10am is clearly led and family friendly, so everyone can follow and join in as they wish. We have a full SATB choir and follow the calendar of the Scottish Episcopal Church.
We want Christ Church to be a sanctuary for reflection and learning where you are free to explore issues of life and faith without judgement. We have a regular Sunday programme for our Journeys in Faith, and have courses running at various points of the Christian year such as Advent and Lent.
Christ Church seeks to address injustice and respond to human need through loving service. We support several international and local charities throughout the year, and work with Bethany Trust, Fresh Start and the Eric Liddell Centre.
Christ Church is governed by our Vestry, with responsibilities divided between the Finance and Management Committee, the Property Committee and the UK and Overseas Support Committee (UKOSC). If you would like to find out more about our mission goals, please view or download our full mission booklet below. You can also download the Church Governance document and the Church Health and Safety booklet below.
