Who We Are
St John’s is a Christian community in the heart of Edinburgh, rooted in the worship and tradition of the Scottish Episcopal Church and open to the life of the city around us.
We seek to be a welcoming place for prayer, worship, music, learning, and thoughtful faith — a church where people from many backgrounds can gather, belong, and explore what it means to walk in the way of Jesus.
We are also a cornerstone church within the Global Centre for Peacebuilding and Business.
