Dear Visitor
​Thank you for taking time to learn about our church. We are a church where people from all walks of life are embraced. We are a community of everyday people in which Jesus is central to all we do and we seek to embrace you with the love, hope and goodness of our compassionate and faithful God. You will get a glimpse of who we are, but only a glimpse. To fully understand us, come to a worship service and feel the up-close, in-person fellowship that comes when people share time together. Enjoy the website, then come. We’d love to meet and know you.​                      Jan                                                

CALLED TO SERVE

Pastor Jan Steyn & Andrew Craig
​In  one of the highest honors and responsibilities the church offers, our dear member Andrew Craig has been selected to serve in the capacity of elder in the Church.  During a short ordination ceremony, pastor Jan Steyn prayed  in front of the congregation as Andrew officially accepted the responsibilities of the office.
Being an elder is a high calling, a unique opportunity to offer servant leadership to the congregation, and an experience of spiritual growth and through this undertaking, we pray his service will reflect dedication & the love of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Be blessed beyond measure dear Andrew.  ​Congratulations!

Destination Taizé

​A group of Scots Kirk youth, in the company of the resident pastor Jan Steyn, made a one week expedition to one of the world's most important sites of Christian pilgrimage in France. Taizé is a small village community in the Saône et Loire region of France where each year tens of thousands of young pilgrims flock to share in its way of life, which is predominantly prayer. This pilgrimage is a yearly experience the values of which the Scots Kirk in Paris espouses with the aim of nurturing its youth to constantly live in communion with God through prayer, reflection and peace
​The trip also gave them an opportunity to meet hundreds of young people from across Europe and beyond, consequently enriching their understanding of the Gospel, through this shared experience.
Most of the pilgrims testified to a rediscovery of inner peace, a meaning to life, and a new enthusiasm for simplicity. This Taizé experience has helped to discern that a simple life is the place where Jesus can be found and celebrated.
Here is a peek of what a week’s involvement in a shared life of happiness represents.

Thank you for Taizé..... from these Scotland Youth .

A group of youth from Scotland had the pleasure of visiting Taizé, by the generosity of the Scots Kirk in Paris. The youth were so overwhelmed by the success and joy resulting from the pilgrimage that they sent  heart-warming thank-you notes and testimonies in recognition of the resources Paris provided to initiate their journey to Taizé.
The Scots Kirk in Paris is very thankful and grateful to God for this extraordinary experience in Taizé and the impact it had on their lives. It is a joyful occasion in the realization that through an ordinary hospitality initiative, beautiful smiles have found  permanent places on these lovely faces, in Glory to God.  We share their joy in these testimonies. 
Dear Scots Kirk in Paris,
In your supporting our wild, ambitious, and very daring trip to Taize you filled me with true hope. You, who have never met us showed us the generosity of Jesus and you filled me with true hope, the hope that comes from the reality of knowing Jesus the one who gives us everything and loves us with an unwearied and unconquerable love. It was this love I saw from you and felt led to model to our young people in Taizé. Jan, that you and your wife would encourage your Parish to  sponsor this and then come and visit and minister so deeply to the teens was inspiring.
​The boys in particular were so moved that you would listen so lovingly to them. They described you as ‘sound; the highest of all Scottish compliments. You were Jesus to them and for that I cannot thank you enough.
​In Taizé I felt a profound peace and a true experience of the risen Christ. I saw in the young people we brought a real encounter as well. One girl from a particularly tough background sat in the old taize church and said she felt so peaceful, she asked if she could stay longer. One of our young leaders from no faith background at all had her faith journey start in Taizé, she now has a really beautiful life of prayer.  Our very wild boys opened up about their hurts for the first time, I saw them confess their failings to each other, offer forgiveness, and deep connection. It was truly astounding. 
The school couldn’t believe it either. The majority of the students who traveled with us had not left the country before, had never been to a gathering of young people of faith before, and again in the setting of Taizé, opened up about struggles in their life, questions of faith, exposed deep wounds
