Previously a penny school for Robert Louis Stevenson, then a mission hall and a base for the 46th Edinburgh Company of the Boy’s Brigade, today the historic building is a vibrant church in the north of Edinburgh. Though we fondly remember our Baptist roots, we operate independently and ecumenically with our ministry led by our deacons and congregation, working hand-in-hand to ensure all who want to be a part of church life and ministry are able to be. There is no permanent minister and instead there is a programme of visiting ministers, from many branches of the Christian faith, who provide a rich variety of services in a traditional style. The church prides itself in its warm and friendly welcome, coming together not just for worship but also socially. Congregants come from widely differing backgrounds, of liberal and inclusive beliefs, with values of caring and looking after one another.
