Priory Church Queensferry
Welcome
The Priory Church is a community of people in Queensferry learning to trust and follow Jesus. We’re finding out how to do life with God in his Kingdom, right here and now.
We gather for modern worship in an ancient location: the Priory Church was first built to house a different community of people intentionally following Jesus. It was a landmark place of welcome and refuge on the pilgrim routes across the Forth, and served at the heart of the local community.
Now, almost 600 years later, we still gather right between the bridges, and still seek to love God and our Queensferry neighbours.
Welcome to the Priory Church!

In the meantime, Messy Church takes place in the Prory on the first Sunday of every month at 4pm: kids, bring your adults!
Community Meal
On Thursday lunchtime, all will be welcome to a shared community meal.
Working together Edinburgh Food Project, it will be a safe, friendly way to enjoy some good food with others in the community.

For those who find church difficult for any reason, we’re about to launch Lifeboat, a friendly gathering in the Garden Room on Thursday evenings.
