About our Church . . .
On 7 June 1903 a meeting was held for all members of the congregation to make plans for the erection of a small church. The church was built and used for the first time on Sunday 31 July 1904. Within the sanctuary on the East Wall there is an elegant oil painting in the style of the Phoebe Traquair School, probably by one of her students, depicting a nativity scene. A new meeting room was added in 1995 offering facilities for a creche, Sunday School and meetings etc.
From the beginning we have worked in close association with St Peter’s Peebles and continue to do so. We share a ministry team with them.
