Welcome to Mayfield Salisbury Parish Church

In a world of religious and atheistic fundamentalists and in a society paradoxically multi-faith and secular, Mayfield Salisbury celebrates the place of reason within our lives and encourages people to measure their faith and ethics by it.   In our worship we wrestle intellectually with the basic questions of life:  why are we here?   Who and what are we?   How do we find meaning in life?   Together we embark on the search for truth; hoping to understand ourselves and our world with greater insight and clarity. You are welcome to join us on that journey. 

Mayfield Salisbury is a vibrant church on the south side of Edinburgh and offers engaging ministry to all ages.  We do not shy away from the difficult questions the world poses us and, through our worship, children’s and youth clubs and house groups we offer a space in the midst of busy lives where people can search, wonder and pray together.

We are an inclusive congregation, crossing boundaries of class, ethnicity, sexual orientation, marital status and family situation. Our ethos of inclusion, in line with our understanding of ministry and service, comes from our deep belief that the ministry of Jesus Christ, which we offer, is intended for all people. We support Rev’d Dr Giles Frazer, an Anglican Priest, when he writes that “Inclusivity... [is] a gospel imperative, fundamental to the nature of God and at the very heart of the mission and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.’  To that end we welcome all those who wish to journey with us.

Worship lies at the centre of the life of this community. Our doors are open to all: those sure in their faith, those living with unanswered or unanswerable questions, those living creatively with doubt, those who have been to a church before, those never before over the door of a church, those who are happy in their lives, those who live with pain or sorrow, and those who are rich and those who are poor. No matter creed (or none), sexual orientation, colour or ethnic background:  you are welcome!   This is the House of God.
