a history of morningside baptist church
In 1894 the district of Morningside
in Edinburgh was a quickly expanding community. New houses were
being built to the south, east and west of the area.
Nineteen friends met in a local
Morningside tea-room and in that year formed themselves into a
Baptist Church.
They offered the enormous sum
of £3,300 to purchase an existing church building on Morningside
Road.
For over 100 years this has been
the home of Morningside Baptist Church. Stained glass windows
were added to the building as a memorial to those who died in
the first world war.
The building remained largely unchanged until 1973
when a fire destroyed the sanctuary. Restoration took two years
but has resulted in a beautiful building in which to worship and
praise God.
A
recent programme has completely refurbished the church including
the addition of a new vestibule
Due to
the numbers attending we have moved our Sunday Services to the
Braid Centre, 1 Nile Gove, at the side of Morningside Post Office
