Augustine United Church in Edinburgh, Scotland is part of the United Reformed Church and is part of a local Ecumenical Partnership with St. Columba's-by-the-Castle, Scottish Episcopal Church and Greyfriars Tolbooth and Highland Kirk, Church of Scotland.
The congregation traces its roots back over 200 years in the Old Town area of Edinburgh. The present building (at 41 George IV Bridge) was completed in 1861 and has recently undergone a major renovation and upgrading. The Augustine Church Centre, as the building is now called, is home to a number of church-related charities and projects, including Edinburgh Churches Together, Christian Aid, Jubilee Scotland, Edinburgh Community Mental Health Chaplaincy and Feed the Minds, as well as being the worship centre of Augustine United Church and the Metropolitan Community Church of Edinburgh.
In addition, the Centre is used throughout the week by a number of community, music, political and religious groups for their meetings and events. In the summer, the Centre is used as a venue for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
