02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Christ Church Edinburgh is set up to encourage people to bear witness to the gospel locally and nationally, to learn from the Bible, share fellowship and serve others in the community. In order to achieve this we hold two Sunday services, 11am in morning and 6pm in the evening. In the morning a creche is provided for 0-3 years and a Sunday Club is run for 4-11 year olds. A prayer meeting is held every Wednesday evening which includes occasional speakers from other organisations. Once a month this is replaced with home groups. There is also a Women's study group held each Tuesday and a Thursday lunch club which meet twice a month for food and fellowship. All these activities are advertised on our website and on an external message board, to which all are invited.
