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.

The history of the Church and the Kirkyard is well documented in an excellent book entitled 'The History of Elie Parish Church' by David Thomson. Copies can be obtained at the Church, or by mail from the Session Clerk (see contacts page).

The cost, including postage & packing, is £5.50. Please make cheques/postal orders payable to 'Elie Parish Church'.

How can I become a member?

In the first instance, contact the Minister. If you are currently a member of another church and wish advice on how to transfer your membership, the minister will tell you how to do that. If you wish to become a church member for the first time, the minister will arrange to meet with you regarding this.

How can I get married in Elie Church?

The Minister will be happy to let you have details, if you would like to have your wedding service at Elie. It is not necessary to be a member of the Church to be married at Elie.
