Information for Visitors

“St. Salvador” (Latin for “Holy Saviour”) was a popular ancient Scottish designation for churches, including one (now gone) in medieval Dundee. Our St. Salvador’s was built for the mill workers of the Hilltown area in the Victorian period, and was the unique masterpiece of the leading church architect of his day, G. F. Bodley.

St. Salvador’s is a small, friendly, traditional congregation of the Scottish Episcopal (Anglican) Church. We have a conservative catholic perspective, and many of our members are sympathetic toward (but we are not corporately affiliated to) “Forward in Faith”.  We are NOT a large, polished, affluent high church congregation of liberal sympathies and with entertaining liturgy.  We retain something of the flavour of the original ministry to the city’s poor.

Many of our members travel some distance to join us for our worship and mission. Although we have a wide range of ages, most of our members are drawn from two main group. Students attending Dundee University or Dundee’s Abertay University, as well as students at St. Andrew’s University, continue to find a home with us, as do many single, divorced or widowed people of various backgrounds, businesses, trades and professions.

We warmly welcome you, whether you are visiting from another city, looking for a church, or are simply interested in experiencing the liturgy as it is conducted in our parish. If we can be of service in ANY way, please get in touch.

NOTE: We have an induction loop system for the hard of hearing. A low ramp allows wheelchair access.
