Welcome to St Columba's Church of Scotland, a home away from home

st columba's, pont streetSt. 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.

“WLAC is a fantastic local charity that provides free counselling services for children and their families. Two years ago, I got involved with this organization and have been very impressed with their work. Check out their website if you have the time. As an added bonus to all of you generous donors, if I win the marathon my trophy will be given to the largest monetary supporter. And the bidding begins at...

Thanks in advance for your support and encouragement!”

Stewardship Campaign

We recently launched our Stewardship campaign which is designed to help close the annual budget deficit we have at St Columba's. Currently our expenditure exceeds our income by some £70,000 each year and we are eating into reserves in order to carry on with all the great things the church does in terms of mission and outreach. This situation cannot continue so we are asking all our members and friends to consider becoming regular givers or, if they are already regular givers, to consider increasing their giving. For more information about regular giving please click here and for a form which you can print off, complete and return please click here.
