We are an active, inclusive Christian community based in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. At AUC we celebrate the Christian Story, welcome and affirm people of all races, genders, sexualities, ages, faiths and abilities and work to promote justice and wellbeing locally and globally. We come together to worship and to make a difference.
We are a congregation of the United Reformed Church. We are an Aligned Organization with the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) and work in partnership with MCC to offer our joint LGBTQI+ ministry called ‘Our Tribe’. We share in an ecumenical covenant with Greyfriars Kirk and St Columba’s-by-the-Castle SEC.
Sunday Worship
Our Sunday Worship takes place at 11 am every Sunday online and in-building and everyone is welcome to share in it. For more information about our services and how to access them online please go to the Sunday Worship page.

As we celebrate Black History Month 2024, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your unwavering support. This year’s theme, “Reclaiming Narratives,” reminds us of the power of stories—stories of resilience, triumph, and the invaluable contributions of Black communities throughout history.
Your support helps amplify these voices, allowing us to honour the past, celebrate the present, and inspire future generations. Together, we are not just recognising history, but actively shaping it.
Let’s continue to uplift one another, embrace diversity, and drive forward the progress that strengthens our shared future. Thank you for standing with us on this journey of empowerment and unity. #ReclaimingNarratives #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2024
