About the church

St James is a small Christian community in the heart of Leith. Every Sunday, folk of very different ages and backgrounds gather around the Lord’s table to share bread and wine, just as others have done here for over 300 years. In this ritual moment, we find a rhythm for life which shapes our worldview, feeds our souls and inspires us to live out our commitment to Christ’s way of love, forgiveness and justice, in the context of our everyday lives. You are welcome to join us on the way.

Services

On Sunday mornings we have a communion service according to the Scottish Liturgy 1982. We gather at 10.45am for an 11.00am start. The service normally lasts about an hour and a quarter and is also streamed online.
