The Apostolic Church, Edinburgh

The Apostolic Church, Edinburgh

The Apostolic Church in Edinburgh, now known as Life Church, is a vibrant and dynamic Pentecostal congregation with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1931. Renowned for its wide range of activities, the church caters to various interests and age groups, fostering a strong sense of community and spiritual growth.

One of the church's key offerings is the Alpha course, designed to explore the basics of the Christian faith in a welcoming and informal setting. This course is particularly popular among those new to Christianity or those seeking to deepen their understanding of their faith.

For younger members, Kidzone provides a fun and engaging environment for children to learn about Biblical teachings. Here, children are nurtured in their spiritual journey through stories, activities, and group interactions.

Music plays a significant role in the church's activities, with the Inspiration Gospel Choir being a highlight. This choir brings together voices from the congregation to perform uplifting gospel music, contributing to the vibrant worship experience at the church.

Women and men in the congregation have their dedicated events. Women's events offer a space for fellowship, encouragement, and spiritual growth, often featuring guest speakers, workshops, and social activities. Similarly, the Men's breakfast gatherings provide an opportunity for male members to connect, discuss faith-related topics, and build friendships.

The church's architecture and artistic elements add to its allure. The large murals depicting archangels, angels, choirs, saints, martyrs, and evangelists are particularly striking, adding a sense of awe and reverence to the worship space. These murals not only enhance the aesthetic beauty of the church but also serve as visual representations of the church's deep-rooted faith and history.
