Welcome to Edinburgh!

We are excited that you’re coming to Edinburgh and believe that God is going to use you to bring His Kingdom to this city as you learn and study here.

St Mungo’s is part of the Scottish Episcopal Church. It is a large contemporary Word and Spirit Church and is principally located in the suburban village of Balerno in south west Edinburgh, and has a second location in Livingston.

Our vision is to be Be Love and we place a high value during our gatherings on sung worship, Bible-based teaching and prayer ministry focused on the renewing work of the Holy Spirit.

One the core values at St Mungo’s is Family.

Here at St Mungo’s we believe that growing as Christians, whatever age or circumstance of life you are in, happens best in community and so we have small groups, which we call House Groups, which meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday or Wednesday of every month. House Groups are multi-generational and have 2 primary aims: care and discipleship. As a student joining our church family we’d plan to place you into one of these groups, allow you to receive care (which will almost certainly include offers of food) and also continue to grow as a follower of Jesus.

House Groups are a great way for you to connect with people in the church. They allow you to build up friendships and relationships with people who can then help to support you as move through your university career but also, because they are multi-generational there are plenty of opportunities for you to bless others in your group too.

*If getting to church is an issue then drop me a message as we have some people in the congregation who drive into church and so we might be able to sort you out with a lift. There is also a 44 bus which runs regularly on a Sunday and throughout the week, including into the evenings.
