OUR VISION

"Go, then, to all peoples, everywhere... you will be witnesses for me to the ends of the earth."

                                                                                                         Jesus of Nazareth, c 30 AD

"We are a living and faithful presence for Jesus Christ through Europe and beyond, witnessing from places of need to corridors of power, and offering a spiritual home to all people."

                                                                                                  Presbytery of Europe, 2010 AD

The vision of the Church of Scotland for the 21st century is: "To be a church which seeks to inspire the people of Scotland and beyond with the Good News of Jesus Christ through enthusiastic, worshipping, witnessing, nurturing and serving communities."

The churches, ministers and members of the Presbytery of Europe are one of the main expressions of that vision beyond the United Kingdom - often in partnership with other churches.  These 17 congregations, mostly in cities of mainland Europe but also in Malta, Bermuda and Sri Lanka, all began as congregations of Scots living or visiting abroad - some recent, some centuries ago - but their role has increased greatly and continues to develop. 

Our ministry and mission reaches refugees, politicians and international business leaders alike, and covers those who live here, those who visit by choice, and those whose choices have been taken away from them. Our congregations are drawn from five continents, and dfrom the widest range of Christian backgrounds. And our mission work stretches into Africa, Asia and the Americas.
