Background Information

Canonmills Church was founded by the Rev. William Innes in 1810 on Baptist and ecumenical principles. Today its members are from various Christian backgrounds with a strong belief in the importance of the Christian family, caring and looking after one another. It prides itself in its warm and friendly welcome, coming together not just for worship but also socially. There is no permanent minister but instead there is a programme of excellent visiting ministers, who provide a rich variety of services in a traditional style. The affairs of the Church are managed by elected deacons, who form the Diaconate. Although a member of the Baptist Union of Scotland, Canonmills operates independently and is well financed.

As with all Churches, our congregation is an ageing one and it is recognised that there is a need to broaden its horizons by engaging more with the local community and reaching out to possible new members. The community around Canonmills is a vibrant one. It is a bridge between Inverleith and Broughton, close to the Botanic Gardens and the New Town with small businesses, coffee shops and restaurants.
