Welcome to Edinburgh City Mission

 

Since its establishment in 1832, ECM has brought hope to many who live, work, and visit Scotland’s capital city, through caring and sharing the message of Jesus Christ.

Our purpose is to reach out with the gospel message to the people of Edinburgh and visitors to the city. We aim to be a catalyst for evangelistic outreach, endeavouring to show the love of God through sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, introducing people to a personal saviour, and making disciples.
