Our Days at Gifford Park
In 1973, the brethren in Edinburgh began to gather together and held services at a member’s home. By God’s guidance and mercy, many lost sheep returned to His bosom. While there, the attendance grew from 20 to 200. Because of this, a hall was rented for regular services from another religious group. A prayer house was then set up on 1 January 1976. Not long after, due to the increase in religious education students and newly baptised members, God moved our hearts and gave us an opportunity to purchase a church building at the current location of Gifford Park Church in 1978. After renovation, it was dedicated to the Lord on 7 May 1979, in the presence of over 400 members.
Current Chapel at East Fettes Avenue
Many years later, as church membership continued to grow, another chapel belonging to the Church of Scotland, situated at East Fettes Avenue in Comely Bank, was acquired by auction in 1983. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the chapel was eventually refurbished and the church dedication was held on 19 June 1990. After four years, this chapel could not accommodate the increasing number of members. A decision was made to branch out into a second local church. Thank God, there are now two churches in the Edinburgh region, namely Edinburgh Church in Comely Bank and Gifford Park Church.
