Our mission.
Here for Jesus.
We’re on a journey to put Jesus Christ at the centre of all we do and all we are. We want to worship Him, grow to be more like Him, serve our communities in ways He did, and share His incredible story of redeeming love with the people around us.
About us.
As a church we’re all about the gospel, which means ‘good news’.
It’s God’s good news about His rescue plan for our broken and troubled world. It centres on Jesus Christ, and is woven through everything we’re about as a family of faith. We believe humans were made to know this good news, and we’d love to share it with you.
Our story.
Esk Valley Church was planted to bring the good news of Jesus within easy reach of people all across Midlothian.
We started out with three families and, with God’s help, we’ve grown to a group of about 100 people.
Our church is made up of ordinary folk coming together to follow Jesus Christ. We’d love you to join and be a part of it.
We are part of the Free Church of Scotland and we partner with the Redeemer City to City church planting network.
Meet the Team.

Be part of it.
We worship on Sundays and meet at different times of the week.
Our vision is to give people across our county access to Jesus. This means we use different spaces at different times for our events.

Sundays
We meet at
Rosewell Steading
3 - 4pm every Sunday
At the service we hear the gospel story re-told to remind us of who God is and what he’s done for us. The service has form, but is quite informal. You don’t have to dress up - just come as you are.

We organise events throughout the year to help us hang out together. These are also good things to come to with a friend if you’d like to meet more of the church family. Our events range from family fun in the park, to quiz nights, walks and our annual wreath-making evening for when the nights are drawing in. All are welcome!
