Our vision is to make known God's love shown in Jesus - that means we try and follow Jesus' teaching and live it out each day. We learn about him in worship, prayer, teaching, prayer and fellowship to help those who are part of our congregation grow in faith. We also try to be relevant to and involved in our local community. We have a wide variety attending - old and young; families, couples and students; different cultural backgrounds. We are warm and welcoming - a place where you can find support and encouragement while you are away from home.

Barclay Viewforth Church Barclay Viewforth Church Barclay Viewforth is a family church with a heart to see our communities transformed by the love of God. We seek to make God's love known through mission and ministry. We see our church as a 'home from home' for students, and they are included as part of the wider church family, and can get involved in any of the activities and groups the congregation supports. Hospitality to students is approached in a casual way with church members welcoming students into their homes for meals. If you want to feel part of a church family in Edinburgh and want to engage with a mixture of people, then we will be happy to get to know you and look after you! Our Youth Worker Rae co-ordinates a WhatsApp group for students, 20s and 30s folk in 4 churches (us with Craiglockhart, Polwarth and St Michael's), for socials and meetings
