Welcome to Priestfield Parish Church

Welcome to the website of Priestfield Church! Explore it to find out more about us, events we are running and recent teaching. If you need to see this in larger print use the zoom function on your browser – probably at the bottom right hand corner of this window.

Priestfield is part of the Church of Scotland standing in the Reformed Tradition. But we are glad to share with people of other traditions and, whoever you are, you would receive a warm welcome. So where are you? Come and join us!

Our building faces on to Dalkeith Road just a few metres down from theCommonwealth Pool and Pollock Halls of Residence, and there are many students among the 6000 or so people who live in our Parish.

While we are not a large congregation, we are trying to find ways in which we can serve the community around us. There’s lots to do and we can always use extra people to help us.

At the moment we have one service at 10.30am on Sunday mornings, with the first part being our all-age Godspace slot. In the second part of the service we have a reflection chiefly for adults, usually including a visual presentation.

What are we about? Recently the Kirk Session approved a document called Patterns of Shared Commitment which is designed to be a help for us as we journey together with Jesus. If you are searching for a way of life, have a look at it and try some of them out for yourself.

On 29 January, our Minister, Jared, is leading the service at the Robin Chapel. You are welcome to visit.

Happy exploring – we hope that you will find something of interest on our pages. More importantly, if you’re looking for us you’re probably also looking for God – I’m sure you will be found!

Blessings on you.
