Emmanuel Church is an independent congregation within the Episcopal Church which is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are in the Diocese of Edinburgh which is headed up by Bishop Brian Smith. For more details please click on the above link.

Emmanuel Church supports Urban Saints, formerly Scottish Crusaders, a network of Christian youth groups throughout Scotland, whose aim is to reach young people and, through weekly Bible teaching and youth events, encourage them to become committed, mature servants of Christ.

We support fair trade through Traidcaft which is a trading company and a development charity.

Their vision is a world freed from the scandal of poverty, where trade is just, and people and communities can flourish.

We are pleased that Fox Covert Primary School and SU Scotland are working with us to establish an SU group in the school.

Emmanuel Church supports Tom Kisitu who works in the Christian Centre in West Pilton, an area of severe deprivation and social problems. He gives support to needy families as well as preaching the gospel and nurturing local Christians.

We help with the Care Van which is operated in co-operation with Edinburgh City Mission. It provides soup, rolls, clothing, support and advice to between 30 and 60 people who are homeless in Edinburgh city centre every night.

The Diocese of Connor is the diocese we are linked with in Northern Ireland. Click on the link for more information!

Emmanuel is closely linked with Richard Higginbottom who works in Scotland as a Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS) ministry consultant. Richard has been very supportive to Rev. Willie in helping him discover God's vision for the work at Emmanuel.

Mike and Helen Parker are working for Middle East Christian Outreach. Mike has taken up the post of Middle East Director of MECO, supported by Helen. This involves supporting MECO's mission partners pastorally and liaising with the indigenous Churches with whom they work.
