Engaging young people (primary 4 - secondary) with all sorts of fun and mayhem… every single week! With all sorts of games, times to learn from the bible, and lots of special events. We want our young people to be involved in the community and look out for one another. We want to be a place where our young people can ask big questions and get answers. We want to look after our young people and give them a safe place to have fun and good friendships. We’re looking forward to meeting them all: although we’re determined that they won’t to beat us at our own games (there will be a scoreboard).

6-7.30pm - Primary 4-7 aged young people

7.30-9pm - Secondary school aged young people

We’d love for you to join us as we make even more space for God’s presence through prayer, ministry, and extended worship.

Our afterschool drop-in for young people to come along and help themselves to some food, enjoy the activities on offer, catch up on their studies, make themselves at home and even learn new skills along the way. We will have volunteers on tap to help with any school work, as well as our regular Friday Night Youth Club team about with a listening ear.

The Pitlochry Youth Café is for S1+ pupils, and based at our church building on Atholl Road on Tuesdays during the school term-time.

The Etape Road Race is a cycling event that has attracted many thousands of participants to Pitlochry since its inception in 2007. This closed road race starts in Pitlochry, winds its way around Highland Perthshire, before finishing back in Pitlochry right outside our church building on Atholl Road.

During the event, the road outside our building is blocked off to motorists. Gathering for worship at our usual time is therefore not possible. So, we’ll be cheering all the riders over the finish line, and then meeting together at 6pm for our Worship Gathering.

Please Note: During the Etape Road Race the road outside the church building is closed to vehicles. Pitlochry’s main car park on Atholl Road is also commandeered for this event.

Families with small children in Pitlochry! Why not join us at the Delta Road Play Park (the one next to the vets surgery) for a whopping great big Easter egg hunt from 3pm onwards? There will be other games and fun stuff taking place like making great big humungous bubbles and the messy tossing the egg competition. This is one of the fun ways that we’re enjoying Easter at PBC - as Christians we’re celebrating the moment in history where Jesus rose from the dead, just as he said he would, remembering the stone that was rolled away from the entrance to his grave tomb.

Remember, when you come along to the hunt bring a bag or bucket for collecting the Easter eggs!

Baptism Worship Gathering at Lady's Dell.

"Come rain or shine - we're getting wet anyway"

Head for Armoury Road in Pitlochry. Then go down the hill to Loch Faskally on the right rather than to the Dam straight ahead (Though you may want to drive to the Dam,  park below the SSE visitor centre and walk down across the grass).

Join us for the Christmas Day Lunch 2024 at the Atholl Centre (located to the rear of our building on Atholl Road). The Christmas Day Lunch is a free event and will take place on Monday 25th December from 1pm onwards.

If you plan to join us, contact Helen Kirkwood at the Atholl Centre on 01796 473044 or at manager@athollcentre.org.uk to reserve your seat/s in advance of the day.

Join us in our transformed church car park outside our building on Atholl Road for Pitlochry’s Community Nativity. The Nativity will be retold by members of our community, and will celebrate the sharing of the greatest gift ever given. With carols and music, laughter and poignant thoughtful moments, hot refreshments and snacks, we hope the Community Nativity will be a highlight of Pitlochry’s Christmas and bring families together in the most wonderful way.

Make&Bake is geared towards primary-aged children and their families. Featuring crafts, games, baking, and indoor team games all run by volunteers from local churches in Highland Perthshire. Drop in to Aberfeldy Town Hall and join your children as they enjoy these organised activities. We would love to see you there.

This special worship gathering is a quiet evening reflecting on finding God in the midst of life’s darker moments. Our hope is to bring comfort to those whose experiences with loss, mental health or even just the Christmas blues may cause them to struggle with the in-your-face, over-the-top joy sometimes demanded during this time of the year.

We don't need any other excuse other than the fact that we really enjoy our curry. If you fancy joining us for this delight to the tastebuds, and a maybe a wee beer, let us know in advance through the Contact Page and we will get back to you. Or, just join us at Cidsin Tandoori restaurant on West Moulin Road, Pitlochry at 7pm. We’ll be there!

Now into its 6th year, our Annual Golf Competition sees keen golfers pit themselves against one another in teams of 3 playing to Texas Scramble rules. It’s a family event with the youngest and the eldest having fun, encouraging one another, and hopefully picking up some awards at the end when the church family cheers them onto the 18th green beside the Clubhouse at the end.

Today, when the cross and all it stands for is seen as no longer relevant in the lives of many, there is an urgent need for a powerful ongoing and public statement of faith. On Good Friday, there is a Walk of Witness to the Cross and the saving power of Jesus Christ. Beginning at Pitlochry’s Church of Scotland, the Walk of Witness silently makes its way around Pitlochry, stopping at certain landmarks now and then to listen to the account of Jesus’ final hours before he was crucified, before ending back at the Church of Scotland building for a short reflection and moments of prayer. Feel free to join us outside the Church of Scotland building at 8am, or anywhere along the road.

You are invited to attend a Passover Seder meal. The Seder meal is the traditional Passover meal to remember the suffering and persecution of the Jewish people in Egypt and the miraculous way that God brought them out of slavery. This experience can help us prepare for Easter by deepening our understanding of Passover and the way that it set the stage for Jesus – the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

For more details, or to book a seat at the table, get in contact with us through the Get In Touch page.

We’re hanging out in the community with the church family. This year we’re sparking up the barbeque at the Recreation Ground in Pitlochry. As always, there will be plenty food for all, and maybe some ultimate frizbee or rounders. As we live in Scotland, it’s weather permitting. So, if it’s raining, we’ll get the barbeque going in our church carpark and have some food in the church building after our Worship Gathering.

As part of our summer WA programme, we’re pleased to invite all seniors to our ‘Coffee & Quiz’ afternoon at The Atholl Centre. Come as a team, come join a team. It’ll be entertaining and fun for all levels of quizzicality.

If you plan to join us for our Worship Gathering on Sunday 29 May, please stay around for some lunch afterwards. We’re conscious that as a church family we’ve been separated for too long because of the lockdown and Covid restrictions, and so getting together for a bit of lunch gives us the opportunity to spend time together and get to know folk again. And we’d love for you to join us. There will be plenty of food to go around.

Every Wednesday, we set aside 15 hours as a church family to pray; taking at least an hour each to seek God. Yes, of course, we pray at other times. But we’re excited to seek the Lord in this way. We’re compelled by God’s invite to draw up next to him that we find throughout the Bible.

Please, join us, wherever you are. Encourage us by signing up on our PRAYER page.
