The Way Ahead
As Christians we are committed to the Church, its life and its mission. We base all our beliefs and behaviour on the clear teaching of scripture and, specifically in relation to the Church, on the passage in the Acts of the Apostles chapter 2 verses 41-47. This passage sets out how the early Christians lived in fellowship and we can discern from it the principles that underlay the life and work of the early church and that accounted for its growth and success.
Welcome
A Welcome From the Minister
The congregation of Elie Parish Church welcomes you! We hope that your visit to our village will be enjoyable and memorable. We invite you to come and visit our church, which holds its main service at 10am every Sunday. There is a crèche for the very young during the summer months when family worship is encouraged. Coffee is served in the Church Hall after the service on the first Sunday of each month.
You will find us a friendly group of people who are anxious that our church and our community should be open and outgoing. Elie is a great place to be! Enjoy your visit with us!
Where can I find Elie Parish Church?
In the High Street, right at the heart of the village. You can't miss it! Its familiar clock tower can be seen as you approach the village from any direction, including the sea! Enter by the church gate in the High Street or, for ease of parking, turn north off the High Street at the Station Buffet, opposite Toll Green, and then left into Kirkpark Road, The car park is behind the church. For detailed directions see the map.
What is the history of the Church?
There has been a building on the present site at Elie since 1639.
