'Uniting in serving God, by welcoming you, sharing His love and reaching out in service to our communities'
We are a Church of Scotland United Charge situated in the beautiful Scottish Borders. The United Charge is one congregation worshipping in two church buildings each close to the River Tweed, which flows through the four parishes. Services are currently rotated between our churches.

As our regular worshippers will be aware, our Charge is currently vacant following the retirement of Rev Sheila Moir last September. Dryburgh District Churches Sunday services continue to be held in rotation.
The Kirk Session have appointed Rob Jones as locum while we seek a new minister. Rob, former minister at Kelso Baptist church, has come to us after previously being locum minister at the Ale and Teviot churches.
Rob was originally a design Engineer and then moved on to doing Community Outreach, working ecumenically through Bethany Christian Trust (as a community development worker), and then Workplace Chaplaincy Scotland (as a lead chaplain) before entering the ministry. Rob loves the outdoors; walking, cycling and wild camping. He and his wife Fiona have two boys who now being grown up live mostly away from home as students.
In the meantime Kirk Session continue to be grateful for guidance from our Interim Moderator, Rev Mike Taylor. email: [email protected]
