About Us

All Nations Christian Fellowship is a friendly, welcoming church of many nations. Our diverse cultural backgrounds and ages provide a healthy balance for gathering together to glorify Jesus Christ.

We meet in Oxgangs, in the South West of Edinburgh, which we believe will provide a base for impacting many areas for God's glory around the City. We meet together and enjoy life application biblical teaching, fellowship with one another, and lively participatory praise and worship.

Our New Project: We are now raising funds to build a new ministry centre including a community cafe.  This will enable us to more effectively serve the community the love of God.  If you'd like to see the plans now submitted to the City of Edinburgh Planning Dept, please email Steve at ancf[at]btconnect.com Financial donations will be gladly received.

Some History

All Nations was formed from the amalgamation of Sonrise Christian Fellowship and Capital Christian Centre, both Assemblies of God (AoG) congregations, in June 2000. Sonrise was established in 1992 by New Zealander Tony Walker, his family and a small team sent out by Calvary Charismatic Church (now Victory Family Church), Singapore. Capital was a church plant by John Brown, an Australian, also in the early 1990's. It was the rebirth of Edinburgh Pentecostal, an AoG church established in the 1920's and pastored by Donald Gee. From 1936 Edinburgh Pentecostal met at 12 Casselbank Street, formerly Hope Street, Leith a former Turkish bath turned cinema, until All Nations sold the building to Destiny Church in 2003.
