Kirk services online

Below is a list of churches that regularly livestream services or offer them as downloadable recordings.

Please note that this page was created to ensure that everyone who wanted to find an online service could do so immediately after churches were forced to close because of the COVID-19 health crisis. For this reason, it originally listed online services that were already up and running. While we have continued to add churches when staff were able to do so, the list has never been intended to represent all the churches who are now offering online services. With more than 1000 congregations, we cannot practically do this. In addition, from 20 May the Church's web editor will be on furlough, so we will not have the capacity to expand the list further. We encourage everyone to check if their home congregations are offering online worship before looking further afield.

If you are a church considering livestreaming or recording services, you can find more information on this topic, including information on copyright, on our Live Streaming page in the COVID 19 section.

Find out more about the Kirk’s online worshipping community, Sanctuary First, led by Very Rev Albert Bogle.

If you are experiencing any COVID-related symptoms, are feeling unwell or you, or a member of your household have received a positive COVID test please do not attend Church for any reason until you have completed a 14 day self-isolation period.
