Queensferry Parish Church

At Queensferry Parish Church, Christian faith brings together worship, prayer and life in our local community. Our church in South Queensferry offers opportunities to explore belief, take part in activities and share in the life of the congregation. Whether you are planning a first visit, looking for activities for your family or enquiring about a room for a local group, we can help you find the relevant information.

Exploring faith and taking part

Our faith is rooted in the Bible and the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe that forgiveness, hope and a renewed sense of purpose belong at the heart of Christian life. Worship gives us time to reflect on these beliefs together, while prayer and conversation allow us to consider what they mean in our own circumstances.

You can begin with a church service, explore our prayer resources or read more about what we believe. For those attending online, the livestream and previous services offer another way to follow worship. Before travelling, check the service information and notices for details relevant to your visit.

• Worship and reflection. Find information about Sunday and Thursday worship, listen to sermons and explore the themes discussed in our services.
• Prayer. Explore listening prayer, Bible passages, reflections by topic and prayer walks. Prayer can include words, quiet attention and time spent reflecting on a particular concern.
• Children and families. Our family information covers different age groups, including Creche, Kids Crew, Messy Church and youth activities. Check the details for the relevant group before arranging a visit.
• Groups and shared interests. Explore church-based organisations, home groups, environmental activities and opportunities to meet other people through the congregation.

Planning a visit with your family

Different ages and circumstances call for different kinds of information. Our children and families section separates activities for younger children, primary-age children and teenagers, helping parents and carers identify where to begin. Before attending a particular activity, ask about its current meeting arrangements, age range and whether any advance booking is needed.

Accessibility also matters when planning a visit. Our Church Centre has wheelchair access routes serving the Sanctuary, Coffee Lounge, Queen Margaret Hall and St Andrew Hall. There is a stair lift between the Coffee Lounge and St Andrew Hall, and an induction loop in the Sanctuary for compatible hearing aids. If you have particular access requirements, contact us beforehand so that we can discuss the route and facilities relevant to your visit.

Rooms for meetings and community activities

Our Church Centre includes rooms of different sizes, from the Harbour Room to the Sanctuary. When enquiring about a booking, tell us what you are organising, your preferred date and the expected number of people. The seating capacities below provide a starting point for discussing which space may suit your plans.

Use of the Sanctuary normally requires specific permission. Availability, booking conditions and the suitability of a room for your intended activity should be agreed with the church office before you make arrangements. For enquiries about visiting, taking part or booking a venue, email [email protected] with the details of your enquiry.
