We are an inclusive and welcoming Episcopal church serving Paisley and the surrounding area—a place where people have gathered for worship, prayer and reflection. Our congregation began in 1817, and we’ve worshipped in our current building since 1833.
Our doors are open to all, whether you come with faith, with questions, or simply seeking something beyond the ordinary demands of daily life.
Here you’ll find a regular rhythm of worship, shaped by scripture, prayer, and the sacraments. We draw on the deep traditions of the Church—both Catholic and Reformation—while making space for reflection, fellowship, and honest seeking.
Whether you’re familiar with church or not, our services offer room to listen, pray, and join in at your own pace.
Everyone is welcome—those returning to church, those exploring faith for the first time, and those who are simply curious—you do not need settled convictions to be here.

Children & Families
Children are very welcome at all our services and are part of our regular congregational life.
During term time, Sunday School takes place within the 10.00 am service for those aged 4 to 13 during the School Term. Children learn about faith through stories, activities, and will later join the main service for Communion.
Guide dogs and assistance animals are always welcome throughout our building and services.
Children make noise, and that’s perfectly fine here. The sounds of family life are part of our worship, occasional outbursts included.

Who Can Worship With Us
Everyone is welcome—whether you’re a regular churchgoer, visiting from another tradition, exploring faith, or simply curious.
Holy Communion
If you’ve been baptised in a trinitarian Christian tradition—such as the Anglican, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Church of Scotland, or United Reformed Churches—you are welcome to receive Communion here.
Receiving a Blessing
If you’re not receiving Communion, you are warmly invited to come forward and receive a blessing.
Simply cross your arms over your chest when at the altar rails to indicate this.
