Royal Terrace, Edinburgh, EH7 5AB |

About UsThe Church is administered by the Kirk
Session, consisting of the minister and elders, and the Congregational
Board, consisting of elders and other members of the congregation elected
at the Annual General Meeting held in April. Other congregations using our church building for worship on
Sundays are Albany
Deaf Church and the New Life Christian
Fellowship. Greenside has links with local churches of other
denominations in a partnership called the Roundabout
Churches. In recognition of the many people of other faiths living in the parish
and in the city of Edinburgh the church is also part of an outreach
programme called Asian Concern. Greenside is also a partner church in the Care Shelter scheme run by Bethany
Christian Trust and the Edinburgh
City Mission . The Care Shelter offers a hot meal and overnight
accommodation for homeless people in Edinburgh in the winter months. The congregation has representatives for the national charities Christian Aid and TearFund and organises regular fundraising events for them. A stall selling fairly traded goods also operates in the church hall after the Sunday morning service.
