We are a Christian community within the Scottish Episcopal Church’s Diocese of Edinburgh. We welcome all, whoever you are and wherever you find yourself on the journey. We worship the triune God. We proclaim God’s abundant, reconciling, and boundless love in our Lord Jesus Christ for each and every one of us; we trust God’s Spirit to guide, lead, challenge, disturb, and protect us.
We solemnise marriages of two consenting adults regardless of gender and we celebrate the diversity of human identities as a gift from God.
