"Evening over St. Leonard's" - click for home page.



Welcome to St. Leonard's, a family centred congregation of the Church of Scotland in the city of Dunfermline. Whether you are visiting on a Sunday or looking for a church we hope you will feel at home with us.

We meet on two sites - but we are one congregation.

This website will help you to discover more about who we are, what we do, and enrich your involvement with us.

We serve our community in the name of Jesus Christ providing worship services and times to learn, pray and have fun together. As a "Family Church" we aim to welcome and make a place for the young, the old and everyone in-between.

We're very willing to help with weddings and funerals for those in our congregation and parish (to the south of the town centre).

We also run Alpha and Christianity Explored courses for those who are enquiring about or just getting going in the Christian faith.

If you'd like to get in touch with us or get more information, click on the links around you here.
