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!

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.
