Hello and welcome to the Augustine United Church website.
We are an active, inclusive Christian community based in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. At AUC we celebrate the Christian Story, welcome and affirm people of all races, genders, sexualities, ages, faiths and abilities and work to promote justice and wellbeing locally and globally. We come together to worship and to make a difference.
Whilst our physical congregational activity within AUC is still suspended, our Sunday services are streamed live at 11am over Zoom and Facebook. Details on how to take part in our online worship can be found on the Sunday Worship page.

Our logo is a Dandelion, and we often describe ourselves as the dandelion church. But what does that mean for us?🪴
The Dandelion is a flower of hope, spreading nurturance and joy even in hard places. Often perceived by adults as a weed and children as a bouquet, the Dandelion has small determined seeds. These are very like the mustard seeds with which Jesus compared the Commonwealth of God (Matthew 13: 31 & 32). We hope the life and work of our community will be like Dandelion seeds: carried in the breath of the Spirit to grow justice and joy in our lives and world.💛🌼
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
