St. Columba's is a congregation of the Church of Scotland in England centrally located in London's Knightsbridge. The Church of Scotland is the national church in Scotland and is part of the whole Church of Jesus Christ. As such we warmly welcome anyone to worship with us regardless of nationality or denomination.

We are a lively, international congregation with members and visitors coming from the Church of Scotland, Presbyterian Church (USA), The Presbyterian Church of Canada, as well as Presbyterians from Ireland, South Africa, Malawi, Kenya, Ghana and across the globe. While rooted in the Reformed tradition, many of our members do not come from a Presbyterian background but find our community of faith to be their spiritual home. Anglicans and Roman Catholics appreciate the dignity of our liturgy and the relevance of our worship. We seek to serve God through our worship, service, and fellowship.

From wherever you hail, you will be welcomed at St. Columba's and we hope you will find it to be a home away from home!

As well as welcoming you to our main services on a Sunday, we would be very pleased to see you at the many events which take place during the week, taking advantage of our central London location and diverse membership.
