Pilrig St. Paul's Church of Scotland

Welcome to our website.

We are located at the corner of Leith Walk and Pilrig Street in Edinburgh. We are served by many bus routes which come down Leith Walk and there is a reasonable amount of on street parking on Pilrig Street and Leith Walk

Come and meet us! Each Sunday we gather at 11.00am to worship God and we have tea/coffee after the service when there is opportunity to chat and get to know people. We have a Sunday Club for children and there are also Creche facilities for babies and younger children.

As part of the Church of Scotland we serve a parish extending from Albion Road in the south to almost the bottom of Easter Road in the north and including an area that covers Redbraes to the west and Hibs football ground in the east.

We have just celebrated 10 years of the union between the former Leith St. Paul’s Church and Pilrig & Dalmeny Street Churches in February 1999.

As a congregation we are actively seeking to be increasingly open to the community around us and a major part of this is our “Open Doorway” project.

We are a “Fairtrade Church” and have a regular Fairtrade Stall each week when the Open Doorway project is operating on Tuesdays and Thursdays and also on the first Sunday each month after morning worship.

We are open to new ideas as we seek to help worship to be accessible to newcomers and seek to share the good news of God’s love for all people, in caring service in the name of Jesus Christ.

We are part of Leith Churches Together, the local ecumenical grouping of churches in Leith, made up of 14 congregations from 9 Christian denominations. More information about Leith Churches Together is available from their website www.leithchurches.co.uk

We are also part of the grouping of local Church of Scotland congregations called the Leith Churches Forum. The 5 congregations in the group are moving towards working more closely together in the next few years.
