Welcome to our website! We are glad you are interested in our church.
We are Edinburgh: Meadowbank and Willowbrae Church of Scotland, Scottish Charity No SC000963. Rev Lourens de Jager was inducted as our minister on 5th August 2024.
Sunday worship takes place every week at 10.30am in the Meadowbank building at 83 London Road, EH7 5TT.
Some of our mid-week groups and special services take place in the Willowbrae church building at 1a Willowbrae Road, EH8 7DB. See the What’s On page or the calendar for more details about upcoming events.

WHAT HAPPENS ON SUNDAYS?
Our Sunday services begin at 10.30am. This is a time for meeting with each other in fellowship, but above all it is a time for meeting with God: in song, music, silence and prayers. Worship usually lasts for about an hour. If you would like prayer for yourself or someone you care about, one of our elders will be happy to pray with you. Anything you say will be kept private.
From 12 January 2025 until the end of March, we will be offering an open invitation to have a conversation about faith, life, and God over a hot lunch each week immediately after the service, using material from the Alpha course. Lunch will be finished by 12 noon, but you are welcome to stay and chat longer if you wish.
Children are always welcome! We have a kids corner with toys and colouring for little ones. There is an induction loop system. Hymn books are available if you find it hard to read the projector screen, and we also have a Braille hymn book. There is level access to the Meadowbank building through the front door on London Road and the side door on Marionville Road. Step-free access to the Willowbrae sanctuary is via the Church Centre entrance on Willowbrae Road.
We are delighted to have Rev Lourens de Jager as our minister. However, the church is far more than the minister: it is a team in which everyone matters. We want to benefit from the insight, talents, energy, and faith of all who are willing to offer them. But if you simply want to come to sit, you are equally welcome.

A very warm welcome to the fellowship at Meadowbank & Willowbrae Church!
We are a local gathering of the wider Church of Scotland. We believe that God, who is made known in Jesus, is active in the world and is with us through the Holy Spirit. Together we want our Christian faith to make a difference to the way we live.
We want our faith to be life-giving, both locally, and beyond. Why not join us and help us as we try together to be followers of Jesus?
Everyone is welcome to come to our church, and to join in our services and activities, whether on Sundays or through the week. If there is anything we can do to make it easier for you to participate, please let us know.
Upcoming events are listed on the What’s On page, the online calendar, and some are also advertised on eventbrite. If you are on social media you may like to follow us there by clicking on the links below. We look forward to meeting you soon!
