Thank you for taking the time to learn about the Scots Kirk in Paris.
We are a community of everyday people from all walks of life, in a place where you’ll find the grace, mercy, and forgiveness Jesus gives to everyone.   
Whether it’s your first time at church or you have been going to church for years, our Sunday gatherings are a welcoming place for you to  worship God with others.
Community makes life better and reminds us that we cannot do life alone.
This site gives a glimpse of who we are, but only a glimpse.
To fully understand us, come to a worship service and enjoy the personal fellowship that comes when people share time together with the Holy Spirit present.
​Enjoy the website, then come. We’d love to meet you and get to know you.

The Scots Kirk Paris was officially "preached into vacancy" by our Interim Moderator, Rev. Laurence Twaddle, minister of the Church of Scotland in Geneva, on Sunday 28th February 2022. Services will be continuing at the SKP as usual during the vacancy period thanks to Laurence who has been working hard to arrange an illustrious line-up of locums.   Click here for up-to-date information on who will be preaching in any given month.
​This is a challenging but exciting time for us as we look forward to welcoming new faces and enjoying different styles of worship.

Our locum for March and April is Rev. John Munro. John was born and brought up in Glasgow where he attended the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and Glasgow University. A move to New College, Edinburgh, to study theology followed. He was thereafter invited to become the minister, at Stockbridge Church, Edinburgh, and thereafter at Fairmilehead Parish Church, Edinburgh, where he was the minister for 25 years. Following retirement, John worked for over a year in East Lothian as a locum minister in a linked charge and is now back once again in Stockbridge such is the shortage of ministers currently in the Church of Scotland. John is married to Lillian who recently retired from the Scottish Qualifications Authority, and they have one daughter, Emily, who works in Glasgow with the Scottish Film Archive as part of the National Library of Scotland. John and Lillian have two grandchildren. Like some others who have acted as Locum Minister at the Scots Kirk, John has known Laurence Twaddle, our interim moderator, for many years. Like John he grew up in Glasgow and attended Whitehill Secondary School.  John is very much looking forward to his two months with us in Paris. His claim to fame? He once shook the hand of Rev. Donald Caskie - need he say more!
