Who we are

St Paul's & St George's is a Scottish Episcopal (Anglican) church with a congregation of around 800. Based in the centre of Edinburgh, the church is made up of people from all over the city and beyond, and benefits from a wide range of ages, backgrounds and personalities.

More importantly though, we are a group of people connected by a desire to build relationships with each other and with God, to explore what life's about, and how faith can impact on who we are and what we do. Our aim is to build up a lively, culturally-relevant and Christ-centred church, worshipping and serving here in the centre of Edinburgh.

If you want to find out more about Christianity, we run Alpha courses two or three times a year – an opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. There is a meal at the beginning of each session followed by a chance to hear about and discuss some key questions about the Christian faith. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. Please contact the office for more information or to sign up for the next course.

We're about to embark on a major building project which we've called Project 21. It will see the total renovation of the inside of our church building on York Place and will take about 18 months to complete. During this time, from January 2006, our Sunday services will be held in the South Hall complex at Pollock Halls, the University of Edinburgh's halls of residence.
