Welcome to Christ Church Lanark, the Episcopal Church for Clydesdale

The wee church on the corner

We are part of the Scottish Episcopal Church which in turn is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We welcome visitors from all Christian denominations to join us in our services, especially in Holy Communion.

Christ Church is situated just off the town centre of the busy market town of Lanark. You will find the church at the top of the appropriately named Hope Street. Our parish is part of the United Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway and covers an area of some 400 square miles including the towns of Biggar to the south and Carluke to the north. Our congregation also has worshippers from outside the parish boundary. Our church hall is used by many groups including a badminton club, the WRI, visually impaired and autistic children as well as our own Tuesday Lunch club where each week at 12.30pm, people gather to share food and fellowship.

Services

Come and join us at 10.30 on a Sunday morning

Our normal service pattern is Holy Communion at 10.30am each Sunday although on the second Sunday of each month there is a Communion Service with a lighter ‘Family Friendly’ setting. Special occasions and other Christian festivals are advertised here on the website, in our magazine and in the local press.
