St Columba’s has a rich and interesting history and has become a home from home for many Scots who have moved down from Scotland. We also attract many other nationalities, perhaps because they have Scottish or Presbyterian ancestors, or because something drew them into the Church, for example a Baptism, Scottish Country Dancing or the Night Shelter and they decided they liked the atmosphere and that they would like to be part of it.
The Church of Scotland
St Columba’s Church is part of the Church of Scotland and belongs to the Presbytery of England and the Channel Islands.
Central to the Church of Scotland is our love and worship of God through following the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ. We express our love for God by our love and practical care for each other and for those we live with and encounter in our daily lives.
Worship within the Church of Scotland is for everybody, regardless of age, nationality, status, or ability.
