History

Origin Scotland is a non-denominational Christian ministry and registered charity based in the United Kingdom city of Edinburgh. Founded in 1997 as a ministry of Charlotte Baptist Chapel, Carrubbers Christian Centre and Bellevue Chapel, it was created to promote unity in the church and outreach through holding large and small-scale events in central Scotland. In 2002 it became independent of the founding churches, but appointed members of their leaderships to an oversight committee to hold the Origin Scotland executive accountable. In 2005, following two previous exploratory visits, Origin founded a daughter mission Origin South Africa in Cape Town, South Africa.

Music

Origin Scotland founded the musical collective Exile to further its aims. The collective is made up of the Exile Band and Choir and the Exile Chamber Orchestra, who perform several major (audiences above 1,500) and up to ten smaller events each year. The group have also performed live on BBC Radio Scotland, recorded for BBC Television and in 2009 released their first original album 'un|broken'.

Origin holds praise and worship events in Edinburgh on a frequent basis, as well as regular outreach events.

Origin publishes a comprehensive online directory of churches in Edinburgh, along with bi-annual printed publications Tourist Church Guide and Student Church Guide. Since 2007 the Student Church Guide has been extended to cover Churches in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, St Andrew's and Paisley - most of the University towns in Scotland, and is distributed through Christian Unions at each university, while the Tourist Church Guide covers only churches in Edinburgh.
