The Scottish Episcopal Church NetZero2030 Action Plan is here
Baptisms/Christenings Weddings Funerals
A ministry for you
In the Scottish Episcopal Church we believe in marking the significant moments in life well.
Baptisms can take place for people of any age 0-110! and mark the beginning of the Christian pilgrimage on earth and your formal entry into
the life of the worldwide Church.
Our Wedding Services are very flexible and allow for the selection of the readings and prayer that suit your circumstances
best whether a young couple marrying for the first time or for a couple coming to Scotland to marry in church having not been able to in
another country. With the selection of traditional rituals available you can make your celebration one that works for you and your life now.
As our loved ones die and we wish to mark their passing as unique individuals, the SEC Funeral Services provide the perfect framework for
saying goodbye and remembering with dignity and joy lives which were shared with us.
If you would like to discuss any of these ministries please contact the Rector who will be pleased to help you create
a dignified and profound event suited to you.
Streaming of the Provincial SEC weekly Service can be found here. Daily Prayer in the Scottish Episcopal Church is an important part of our spiritual life and can be followed here
We are churches of all sorts of families and households. There are people who come to church alone, with friends, with partners, wives, husbands.....and their dog. The Scottish Episcopal Church welcomes people of all sexualities, discovering who we are is a life-long process for all of us. Both of the churches in this United Benefice welcome LGBT people, their friends and partners.
We have worked hard at being a safe space for people to come and discover the depth of their faith, to feed on the jewels of the scriptures and feast on the sacraments.
Same-sex couples can be married in both churches too. Come and join us with your household to
find out more about belonging in the Scottish Episcopal Church - you are welcome!
