Who We Are

Livingston United Parish Church is a community of people, of all ages and from all walks of life, who are drawn together by a common faith in Jesus Christ.

Within our church life we have the rich diversity of four different Christian traditions giving us a unique perspective on what it is to be a worshipping community. Over our short history we have learned not to be afraid of exploring new ways of being church. So, whether you are considering faith for the first time or already have a committed faith we hope that you will find Livingston United Parish Church a place where you feel you can “share the journey” with us.

We are an Intergenerational Church 

We are a church that intentionally brings the generations together in mutual serving, sharing and worship. For example, we do not practice age segregated worship.

We are an Ecumenical Church

We believe Christians who belong to different Christian denominations should work together to develop closer relationships among their churches and promote Christian unity. We embrace and celebrate the traditions of four Christian Churches in our worship. We are a Church of Scotland and Methodist and United Reformed and Scottish Episcopal Church.

We are an Inclusive Church

We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people. Therefore, we celebrate and affirm every person and do not discriminate on the grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We are also an Eco Church

Eco Congregation Scotland is a Christian environmental charity addressing climate change and conservation. We are a church that embraces the key areas of caring for God’s Earth through spiritual, practical, and global living.
