Ecclesiatical building in use as such. The plans show a small school attached to the E elevation, which is still in use as a primary school. The Church sits next to the former Guthrie Memorial Church, and the two bring relief and interest to Easter Road. The pulpit came from St Paul's in York Place, of which this was originally a Mission Church.
