We are delighted to think that you would like your baby baptised. We are also aware
that coming to church for many people is a daunting experience. We want to welcome you
and thank you for taking time to look up our policy on baptism. One of the key features
about a baptismal service is to try and ensure that the baby who is being baptised not
only gets a wonderful service, but also gets Christian parents. We feel we owe this
to every child that is baptised in Kirkliston Parish Church. By doing this we are
sure that we have also helped their future Christian development by encouraging their
parents to discover the truth of the Christian Gospel for themselves.

Church Location
Our beautiful 12th century Church and 19th century Church Centre are situated
in the heart of the village. They are both sited in the Square, with the Church
at the top to the north and the Church Centre on the right to the east. We are
about ten miles west of Edinburgh and two miles south of the Forth Road and Rail
Bridges. The Church Centre was the old Free Church in Kirkliston and was gifted
to Kirkliston Parish Church when it closed.
Thomas Chalmers Church Centre
The Church Centre is a modern building with very good facilities, in terms of
rooms, main hall, coffee area and kitchen facilities. The Centre is an excellent
venue for parties, social events, club meetings and conferences. To get more
information about this and to arrange bookings please contact the Convenor of
the Hall Management Group (position currently vacant - please contact the Minister
or Session Clerk until further notice)
Creche
Creche facilities are available in the Church Centre every Sunday in order
that babies and young children up to the age of three may be looked after whilst
their parents and other members of their families attend the morning service.
All those responsible for looking after the children have gone through the
Church of Scotland Disclosure scheme.
