Crown Court Church’s upcoming renewal project, A Kirk for Tomorrow, will deliver an accessible, sustainable building for congregational and community use, accessible and open to all. The project brochure below sets out our vision for our church, how the upcoming works will safeguard worship and community use, and summarises the project plan and costs of the project. We will update this page regularly over the coming months with news of fundraising and project progress.
Our aim is to raise £200,000 through our community fundraising campaign target by Christmas 2026, and we invite all those who are members or friends of Crown Court Church to support the project in the form of pledges, so that we are able to move into the project with confidence. If you are able to pledge, you can do so in several ways:
- By filling in this electronic version of our Pledge Form
- By returning the pledge form in the brochure to the Church Treasurer by e-mail at: fundraising@crowncourtchurch.com
- By returning the pledge form in the brochure to the Treasurer by post at Crown Court Church of Scotland, Russell Street, London, WC2B 5EZ.
If you have any questions at all about the project, please contact futures@crowncourtchurch.com.
Project Updates
Sunday 1st November 2026
Fantastic news: this morning, Rev Tara announced that we have now received pledges totalling just over £134,380 – just over two thirds of the way to our community fundraising target of £200,000!
So – if you haven’t pledged yet, please don’t wait! As we will need to make decisions based on the funding we have secured, we must achieve our community funding goal by the end of the year.
So, as we move into this season of giving, please consider supporting our urgent project, and invite those you know to consider doing so as well. Every donation, no matter the size, inches us nearer to our target!

Big news! We’re just over half way to our £200,000 community fundraising campaign target! At our Kirk Session meeting yesterday, our Treasurer announced that, including anticipated Gift Aid and match funding, we have received pledges totalling £102,400 so far, in just under two months!
This is wonderful news, and really shows that the huge support our community has for “Kirk for Tomorrow”.
Moving forward, we’ll share our fundraising total monthly, so watch this space.
If you are planning to pledge, and haven’t as yet done so, we would so much appreciate it if you could register your pledge soon! The more funds we have pledged upfront, the more confident we can be that we can proceed as planned with the works early next year.

We were delighted on Saturday to welcome many of our partners and friends to a showcase event for “A Kirk for Tomorrow”. Our minister, Rev Tara Porr Granados, and Mary-Jannet and Chris, conveners of the church’s Futures committee, gave a short presentation on our exciting plans for our community and church building, followed by light refreshments and the opportunity to view the plans and take home a fundraising brochure.
The event was very positive, with great feedback for the project overall, and many questions from those who use our building and hope to use it more in future when our facilities are restored!
Sunday 19th July 2026
Today, after morning worship, we gathered in the church hall for the fundraising campaign launch for A Kirk for Tomorrow! Mary-Jannet Leith and Ross Duguid, members of the Futures Committee, gave a short presentation about the project, explaining the principles and motivation behind it, the details of the project itself, and the fundraising targets we have set to meet the project shortfall. We enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions about the changes to the church, and to share fellowship over a picnic!
Do pick up a fundraising brochure when you’re in church, or download your own copy above – and pledge if you can!
