'the advancement of religion'

Our core values are based around word, prayer, fellowship, and witnessing. Word relates to teaching Christian truths and values from the bible to help our members grow in faith and wisdom while also introducing new visitors to Christian beliefs. This takes place via weekly services that take place on a Sunday morning and evening. We have further weekly meetings and occasional events throughout the year that also seek to achieve this aim. Prayer takes place during our services and is the main focus of a midweek meeting when we come together to pray for personal, local and international matters. Personal and small group prayer is also encouraged. Fellowship relates to the support we give to one another and also to the community, through friendship and practical support. Finally witnessing takes place through community events where we seek to get to know our community and make them aware of the services we offer.

Objectives: 4 The Church's purpose is the advancement of the Christian religion in Scotland and the world for the public benefit through the maintenance in Edinburgh of a body of Christian believers founded on the Basis of Faith and engaged in serving God through worship, discipling, pastoral care and outreach which will include: 4.1 the support of Christian work and ministry through the work of other Christian churches and fellowships by the provision of personnel, financial and technical support for Christian ministry and mission worldwide. 4.2 the promotion of education for the public benefit, particularly in the understanding of the evangelical reformed Christian religion by making grants to support institutions or colleges engaged in training students for work or ministry and awarding bursaries to students undertaking such training and offering grants to support those engaged in Bible teaching throughout the world and those engaged in training others to undertake Bible teaching. 4.3 the translation, publication or distribution of the Scriptures or evangelical Christian literature and the support of those engaged in such work. 4.4 the relief of poverty and suffering for the public benefit by making grants to non-governmental organisations working to relieve poverty both locally in Edinburgh and elsewhere throughout the world and to individuals suffering poverty or financial hardship. and 4.5 to carry on or support other charitable work or purposes within the definition of charitable purposes or objectives under Charity Law insofar as such work and purposes are not inconsistent with those set out in Articles 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.
