Welcome to
St Mary-on-the-Rock
and St James the Less
We are two churches in the United Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney within the Scottish Episcopal Church which is part of the global Anglican Communion. We seek to be churches filled with God’s love; giving it away to others.
St Mary-on-the-Rock Church is in Craighall, in the scenic centre of the historic riverside town of Ellon.
Saint Mary-on-the-Rock Church celebrates the Eucharist each Sunday at 11:00am, and on Wednesday’s at 10:00am.
St James the Less Church is on Chapelhill, a mile from the quaint coastal village of Cruden Bay.
St James the Less Church celebrates the Eucharist each Sunday at 9:30am.
Worship
We would love to have you join us for worship. Simply come as you are: we try to welcome everyone in a non-judgemental way. Our friendly congregations seek to develop the ministry of everyone, allowing people to find what God is asking of them and the gifts God is giving to them.
