Lerwick and Bressay Parish ChurchLerwick and Bressay Parish Church is the largest Church of Scotland congregation in Shetland, serving the islands' capital Lerwick and the surrounding area. DescriptionThere are three regular places of worship:
St Columba's building is now the only Church of Scotland parish church in Lerwick. This building was constructed during the late 1820s. It is the largest church building in Shetland (and is a listed building). The church organ was installed in 1871. It was only the second Church of Scotland church building to be so equipped, following in 1866 a relaxation of the Church law on instrumental accompaniment to music in worship. As of 2014, the minister is Caroline Lockerbie.[3] The previous minister (2002–2010) was Gordon Oliver, who was previously minister at St Andrew's Church, Lisbon and moved to the Parish of Latheron, Caithness in 2010.
