The Church
History
While Niddrie Community Church has existed in some form for many years, the current building is reasonably new.
Niddrie Mission began in the late eighteen hundreds, being founded by Lady Wauchope. She opened up one of the cottages on the Niddrie Estate for use as a mission. In the 1950s Niddrie Mission moved to its present location on Hay Drive, and it became part of the Edinburgh City Mission. Since 1996 it has been in partnership with Charlotte Baptist Chapel.
The old building however was in a very poor state of repair. Through God's goodness we raised the £670,000 cost of a new building. Demolition of the old building took place in January 2005 and the new building was opened in March 2006.
The building includes:
-
A multi-functional hall suitable for church services, sports, conferences, public meetings and day/evening groups
-
A Café
-
Three classrooms/meeting rooms
-
Offices
