Welcome to our Web site!
St. Andrew's
Scots Kirk is an international - interdenominational church located
in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. We welcome you to our Web site
and hope you find this information useful. Moreover, we also like to
invite you and welcome you
to one of our services,
activities or other church events, as
presented at this site.
Our main
service of worship takes place on Sunday mornings at 9.30am.
This is open to all and will normally last for one hour. The style
of worship is “informally traditional”. After the service, all are
invited for coffee/tea at the Manse (the house behind the church
building).
It is our hope and prayer
that you will be blessed through our ministry, services, activities
and web site.
Who are we?
- Where we have come from
St. Andrew’s is a branch of the Church of
Scotland. It is administered by the local membership through
a board of Elders appointed from the congregation. While
English is the chosen language of communication, many
non-native English speakers worship with us.
Our Vision:
- Where we are going
To be “International - Interdenominational -
and - Open to all”.
Our Mission: - How we are going to get there
- To
provide a worship service which truly reflects the rich
variety of Christian denominations that our church
family represents.
- To
worship God the Father through Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, in the power of the Holy Sprit of God.
- To offer
a welcome in Christian love to all who come to us.
- To invite
faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord
- To
encourage spiritual growth
- To
discover and develop our skills in Christian service
- To reach
out to those in need in the name of Christ.

- Become a Friend of the St. Andrew's Scots Kirk!!
The congregation of St. Andrew’s is partly a transient one. Over the years we have made many friends who have worshipped with us here in Colombo and who have then left Sri Lanka for postings in other countries. Many of these friends still maintain contact with us and express an interest in continuing to support our ministry and outreach. To facilitate this contact and support we have decided to launch a “Friends of St. Andrew’s” scheme. Read more…..
