Church Buildings

The foundation stone of the current building was laid in 1878 with the first service taking place on 17th January 1879 as St.John’s Free Presbyterian Church. After the union of the Free Church of Scotland and the Church of Scotland, the unifed Eyemouth Parish Church used the building. In 1979 it was listed Category C(S), Historic Scotland Building ID 31166. The church has seating for 280 on ground floor and 90 in the balcony. There is access and facilities for people with disabilities, including a loop hearing system in the church and hall.

The Hall has a separate accessible entrance alongside the church and has separate toilets. The hall as well as being used for congregational activities is available for community use, birthday parties and private hires.
