What Is Ps & Gs Church?

Ps & Gs Church is a church in the centre of Edinburgh whose stated aim is to help people come to know Jesus. It is a religious congregation, not a business, and it describes itself as wanting visitors and newcomers to take part in its life. If you are looking for a church in central Edinburgh, or trying to understand what this particular one is about before attending, the information below covers its location, services, activities, and how it is funded.

Where it is and what it is

The church identifies itself simply as "a church in the centre of Edinburgh." Its vision statement is to be "whole life disciples, sharing the whole of the gospel, with the whole of society, through churches of grace." That language frames everything else on the site: worship, midweek groups, service teams, and a multi-year strategy.

Because it is a church rather than a commercial organisation, there is no product, membership fee, or pricing structure described. Its work is supported differently — see the Giving section below.

Sunday services

Ps & Gs holds three Sunday services:

The site notes that service times were due to change from 10 January, with more detail available on a dedicated page. If you are planning a visit around that date, check the current times before you go rather than relying on the list above.

During the week

Beyond Sundays, the church runs several regular activities:

• Connect Groups — described as the church's "midweek expression of church," intended to help people become whole life disciples. There is a way to find a group.
• Whole Life Nights — a series starting in September, with details available via a link.
• Babies and Toddlers — the main space is set up for children from 0 to pre-school age to play.
• Saturday Meal — provides a safe place for people in need to enjoy a meal from 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm.
• Calendar — a listing of upcoming events and courses.

Getting involved

The church lists three main ways to participate, each with its own page:

• Praying — prayer is described as part of the church's DNA and central to its current activities and future direction.
• Giving — the church relies on the generous gifts of its congregation to carry out its vision and strategy "here in Edinburgh and beyond," and invites people to consider contributing prayerfully and carefully.
• Serving: Join a team — anyone who calls Ps & Gs home is asked to serve as part of a team, with the aim of encouraging the gifts God has given each person.

There is also a Strategy 2025–2030 page. The church explains that every few years it prayerfully considers how best to seek God and make him known in Edinburgh, and builds a strategy around that.

Who this is for

This information is most useful if you are new to the area, considering visiting a church in central Edinburgh, or trying to decide whether to get involved in a particular congregation. The site is explicitly welcoming to newcomers — it opens with "New here? Join us this weekend."

If you are looking for a secular community group, a venue, or a commercial service, this is not that. Ps & Gs is a church, and its activities are shaped by its stated Christian mission.
