• St Columba’s combines activity, peace and prayer
    From wherever you hail, and whatever your tradition, we hope you will find your way to this beautiful church, lively community and home away from home

Welcome to the St Columba’s website

St Columba’s is part of the Church of Scotland. Many of the congregation have Scottish or Presbyterian connections but certainly not all. We have a lively mix of nationalities and denominations, ages and life experiences, members and visitors.

In normal times, St Columba’s combines activity, peace and prayer. Many groups meet throughout the week; school children, Alcoholics Anonymous, the Night Shelter for Homeless Guests, congregational meals, musical events and Scottish Country dancing – our church witnesses plenty of life. All the while, through Sunday worship and the services that mark the great events of life, we worship God and grow together.

Worship

We are open for in person worship with coffee after each service.

Lunch will be served on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. No need to book, just arrive on the day.

Live Stream continues from 11 am to 12 noon- click below to view.


Pont Street Carols, Sunday 22nd December, 5pm followed by refreshments.

Pont Street Carols, Sunday 22nd December 5pm

Refreshments will be served after the service.

Different people; different reasons. Throughout the year many groups and individuals enter St Columba’s: school children, support groups, ReStart’s Friday evening drop-in meal, GlassDoor’s Sunday night shelter for homeless guests, martial arts, congregational meals, concert-givers and ceilidh-goers. Our building witnesses a lot of life.

Throughout the year we also gather to worship, our services marking the rhythm of the year and the significant events of life. Pont Street Carols draws these things together – an invitation to celebrate the season with others who know and value this special place throughout the year.

In a season of demands and busyness, give yourself time and space to join others preparing for and celebrating Christmas. From whatever tradition of prayer you come, or none, please know that you are welcome.
