One of Edinburgh’s most iconic church buildings, the former St George’s West in Shandwick Place, has re-opened as the new home of Charlotte Chapel (a Baptist church).
The Grade A listed building has just completed a £2 million internal facelift bringing new life to this important West End landmark.
The congregation of around 600 moved in on Sunday 29 May from their current location in Rose Street where they’ve gathered for almost 200 years.
Great moment
Paul Rees, Lead Pastor for Charlotte Chapel said: ‘This is a great moment for our congregation as we begin a new phase of our life as a church. We’re excited about the potential this gives us to contribute to this vibrant West End community. God willing, we will continue our ministry as a city centre church, proclaiming the life-changing hope and amazing grace of the Christian gospel for everyone.’
An opening week of events took place from 14-19 June for neighbours and the business community.
