St Fillan's Church

St Fillan’s is located on the southernmost edge of Edinburgh City, in the suburban area of Fairmilehead and at the foot of the Buckstone housing scheme.

At St Fillan’s we are seeking to live out the Christian life and to share that life with others; through our worship, our social events, and our involvement with the local community.

Our rector is the Reverend Ruth Innes. We also enjoy the occasional assistance of our Non-Stipendiary priest Rev Anthea Griggs.

St Fillan’s church building is a multi-purpose hall. The congregation are committed to putting its building at the service of the local community. On Sundays it is turned into a worship space, whilst for the rest of the week it is heavily used by community groups.

St. Fillan’s buildings are well used during the week by a variety of local community groups, and it means a lot to the congregation that we can serve the local community in this way. The hall is available for occasional use at various times.

The Sung Eucharist is at 10.00am each Sunday morning.

St Fillan’s is a Fairtrade Church. We use fairly traded products for our refreshments after services. We have a fair trade volunteer in our congregation, through whom a range of foodstuffs and gifts may be bought. There is an occasional stall in church.

We support a range of charities at home and abroad. Several members of the congregation are actively involved with Christian Aid, the Open Door Project in Morningside, Enable Scotland, Malawi Association for Christian Support, and Rainforest Saver.
