Sunday meetings
We gather at our building every Sunday at 10.30am (as well as livestreaming on our YouTube channel) – and we’d love to welcome you. Here’s what usually happens…

Our building and offices are at 104 Gilmore Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9PL. This is on the junction of Viewforth and Gilmore Place.
Bus routes 10 and 27 stop just outside, and there are several other routes that stop along nearby Fountain Park or Bruntsfield Place. We have a bike rack on our property.
Parking near the building is free on Sundays, please make sure you don’t block any of our neighbours’ parking spaces! If you would benefit from reserving our one available parking space, please contact the church office in advance.
We have adapted our building to make it more accessible – you can read full details of this here. There is lift access to the auditorium (where the church service is held) and the side hall (where kids’ groups for ages 1 to7 take place). There is no wheelchair access to our P3-P7 kids’ group or our youth meeting.

Singing
We love singing and celebrating who God is, what He has done and is doing, so we start at about 10.30am with a time of worshipping Jesus led by a band.
The Bible teaches us to expect that God will speak through His Holy Spirit to various people in the congregation for the good of everyone there, so we make space for this to happen.
King’s Kids
At around 10.45am, children who are in primary school or younger go to their own activities. Parents and carers must sign their children in at the start of the session and collect them at the end. King’s Kids is arranged into three groups: Mighties (1-3 years old), Supers (4 years old to school year P2), and Heroes (P3 – P7).
Parents and carers with children aged under 1 are welcome to use a room near the auditorium, which has a TV link to the meeting, for little ones who need to make more noise or get fed. Our welcome team can direct you to where this is.

Youth
Young people in school years S1 to S6 have their own activities most weeks, starting at around 11.05am. There will be an announcement during the notices and a team wearing yellow T-shirts will head to The Hub.

There’s always news to be shared of what’s going on in the life of the church. If you miss any of the notices given, you can always ask at the Connect desk at the end of the service. You can also sign up for our weekly news email or see our news page.

Preaching
Every week, someone will preach to us from the Bible. We believe that the Bible is God’s perfect and timeless truth for everyone, so we want to understand what it says and apply this to our lives.
We now have access to a translation service from Breeze Translate that allows non-English speakers to receive real-time translations of our Sunday meetings on their smartphones. It doesn’t require anything to be downloaded beforehand – just scan the QR code that will be shown during the service each week, and that will open up the translation service on your phone’s browser; pick your language and press play, and the translation should start.
If you miss a sermon or want to listen to it again, you can download them from our website or subscribe to our podcast.

Our meeting finishes at midday but that’s not the end! Hot drinks and biscuits will be served, and there’s plenty of time and space to meet other people.
There are Connect Areas upstairs and downstairs, where our team will be happy to answer questions you have, and help you find out more about anything at King’s.
Student Lunch
Every Sunday after our morning meeting, there will be a student lunch. This is a great way for students to build community, as well as connecting with other people in King’s.

There isn’t usually a time during the service when we invite people to give money but you can use our contactless giving station whenever you want. It’s simple to use, you can choose the amount you want to give, and UK taxpayers can apply Gift Aid to any donations they make to King’s, increasing the value of what they give by 25% at no cost to them.
Many people give by standing order, or through ChurchSuite.

After Sunday
The first step we’d encourage most people to take after they’ve come along on a Sunday is to join a midweek small group. God cares for each of us and calls us to care for each other: small groups are the main way that we do this.
Each group is different but all involve studying the Bible, sharing what’s happening in our lives, praying and worshipping.
We also have the Welcome Small Group which is an accessible way to join a small group as it’s held at the church building on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm, hosted by Peter and Fiona. You are welcome to let them know you’re coming here or you can just turn up.
