Who we are
Our minister and his family
The Rev. Gordon Stevenson was called here in 2010 and lives in Dunbar with his family. His wife was called to glory in 2020. During this ministry, our church has seen God at work in many different ways; lives transformed, people called into full time ministry, others helped etc. We are a family learning and serving Jesus together so that we might discover God's vision for the church and share it with everyone.

Dates for your diary
Earth Hour - Saturday 25 March from 7.30 pm until 9.30 pm at Belhaven Parish Church Hall
All are invited to mark Earth Hour this year with an event organized by Dunbar Churches Eco-group. It's free, everyone is welcome and there is no need to book.
The first hour will include light refreshments, a short presentation about WWF (the environmental organization that first inspired ‘Earth Hour’) and a chance to gather and chat. The next hour 8.30-9.30 pm will be candle-lit, with talented local singers, poets, musicians and story tellers sharing their skills as we
reflect on our precious Earth together.
Email ecogroup@stannesdunbar.org.uk if you’d like more information or to contribute.
What it’s all about?
On 31st March 2007, the very first Earth Hour in Sydney, Australia, saw more than 2.2 million people turn off their lights for one hour to demonstrate to a climate-sceptic government their concern about climate change. By 2021, 192 nations were taking part. The concept is simple: turn off your lights and all non-essential electrical equipment from 8.30-9.30pm local time. As we all do this, a wave of darkness passes around the planet, a rare act of unity that enables ordinary people to show their concern for nature loss and the climate crisis on a global scale and send a signal to governments and corporations that it is time to act.
Earth Hour 2023 falls on 25th March at 8.30-9.30pm. You can take part at home or work, but it's even more fun as a community! In Dunbar, there is an evening of candlelit entertainment and reflection, with local musicians and performers. Earth Hour is an unmissable reminder of the importance of creation and our duty to protect it, inspiring millions to act and providing a beacon of hope for a brighter future. Do join us.

Food Share
We aim to offer our clients dignity of choice, so we are now gradually moving away from the limiting concept of offering pre-packed bags of food to clients. We help our clients to access food and essential toiletries; this can be done through providing them with store cards and high street
vouchers as well as still offering clients the opportunity to visit our stocked cabinets of food,
toiletries, and cleaning products to choose what they need. We also run a social café, providing a safe space of support and community, as well as offering food, drinks and snacks every Wednesday lunchtime. Clients then have the opportunity to shop from our mobile cabinets if they choose.
