History

In the beginning...

St. Leonard's began as a daughter congregation of Dunfermline Abbey at the end of the nineteenth century. The congregation, gathered from a parish around the local mills began worshipping in a corrugated metal building on a site gifted by local mill owners.

In 1904 a new building designed by renowned Scottish architect Peter MacGregor Chalmers and gifted by local mill owners, David and Peter McLaren, was opened for worship. Over the years halls have been added and remodelled to meet the needs of our busy congregational life.

Today the congregation of St. Leonard's worship in our beautiful Romanesque church and also in the local Pitcorthie Community Centre.

Today...

Church is really about people - at St. Leonard's there's a place for everyone. We're a church that's learning and growing together.

Much more soon...
