Gorgie+ Palmerston Place Church

Gorgie and Palmerston Place Church is a diverse, friendly congregation. This diversity includes colour, disability, neurodiversity, and age. The congregation is sizable enough to quickly make friends and find a way to use your gifts and get involved. We are passionate about serving the economically mixed community around us - and working together with neighbouring churches to help share the good news of Jesus.

We serve one of the largest Church of Scotland Parish in Edinburgh and meet in two buildings - 190 Gorgie Road and 12 Palmerston Place.

Our Sunday morning services from Gorgie Road are live streamed on YouTube.

Gorgie+ Palmerston Place Church Gorgie+ Palmerston Place Church We host regular Sunday lunch events across our buildings to which everyone is welcome, and these are a great way for people to get to know each other better. We have a weekly prayer meeting at Noon on a Tuesday in the Gorgie Church building. We have in-person and online House groups, a book group, and film club that meet on a regular basis.

We have a community cafe called Saltyard (158 Dalry Road), which is well worth a visit during the week serving delicious food for brunch and lunch including homebaking and other tasty treats! It is open Tuesdays - Friday, 9am-4pm.

There is also opportunity to utilise skills and talent as we look to further develop activities with all ages within the congregation. Opportunity to join other musicians to help with Sunday praise. Our monthly Messy Church meets in 190 Gorgie Road on the last Sunday of each month from 3pm.
