St. Columba's-by-the-Castle

‘There are lots of people and one dog who attend’*

St Columba’s by the Castle is a medium sized congregation of about 100 members that meets in a small Victorian Church close to Edinburgh Castle. We believe God’s grace extends to all regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, background or ethnicity. We are a gathered congregation who worship in a liberal catholic tradition, value the role of preaching and education in developing our faith, encourage fellowship and support for one another and share our resources with the
local community.

Central to our outlook, organisation and outreach is our covenanted, ACTS registered Local Ecumenical Partnership with the neighbouring churches of Greyfriars, Tolbooth and Highland Kirk (Church of Scotland) and Augustine United Church (United Reformed Churches).
