Who are we?

South Holburn Parish Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland in the City of Aberdeen. Whether you live locally, or are visiting the city, we will always be pleased to welcome you.

Where are we?

Our church building is located at 539a Holburn Street, not far from Bridge of Dee in Aberdeen.

The Church in Scotland

The Church of Scotland is our country’s national church and as such the ministry of South Holburn extends beyond our own membership. It is a joy to share in celebrations such as baptisms and weddings and it is a privilege to offer pastoral care in times of loss and bereavements.
Come and Worship With Us
People of all ages are welcome to come and join us for worship at 10.30am on Sunday mornings. Our Sunday School and Creche normally meet while the service is in progress.
Holy Communion
Holy communion is celebrated on Easter Sunday and also on the last Sundays of January, June and October
The Church of Scotland
The Church of Scotland is one of the largest organisations in the country. We have around 600,000 members, with many thousands more regularly involved in our local congregations and in our wider work. More than 100,000 children and young people also take part in a range of our church-based activities, led by a team of 15,000 volunteers.
Baptisms & Weddings
The minister is happy to discuss baptisms or weddings with those who wish to know more.

Contact us for further information.
