Welcome to ALE & TEVIOT UNITED CHURCH

We are pleased to have you with us!
We welcome you to the website of Ale & Teviot United Church, a congregation of the Church of Scotland serving the communities of Ancrum, Crailing, Eckford and Lilliesleaf at the heart of the beautiful Scottish Borders.

 

Ale & Teviot United Church is what’s called the “parish church” for our area. That’s important, because it means that we’re not just a cosy wee club, providing services to existing members, but instead that we’re committed to reach out in compassion and fellowship to everyone, of every age, living in our area, and to share with you the Good News of a Saviour who loves you unconditionally.

About Us

Ale and Teviot United Church is situated in the Scottish Borders a short distance North of the town of Jedburgh. The extended parish combines the original parishes of Eckford, Crailing, Nisbet, Ancrum and Lilliesleaf.
