Church Overview

Gordonstoun School was founded in 1934 by Kurt Hahn, with the aim of encouraging self-reliance and independence. St Christopher’s is the main school chapel, built 1965-6 to designs by former pupil Patrick Huggins, to complement the Michael Kirk. Seating is ‘gathered about the lectern pulpit and the Communion Table’ whose positions emphasise the equal importance of Word and Sacrament, while giving space for orchestral or dramatic performances.
