Welcome to the Church of Scotland in Glasgow

The Church of Scotland traces its roots back to the beginnings of Christianity in Scotland, but its identity is principally shaped by the Scottish Reformation of 1560. Its current membership is about 12% of the Scottish population - although many more Scots and descendants of Scots in other countries claim some form of allegiance to it.

The Presbytery of Glasgow is the largest Presbytery in the country, and currently contains more than 140 parishes. These include churches in deprived inner city areas, the city centre, suburbs and outlying towns and villages.

Its primary function is to exercise a leadership role which will enable and support congregations in their calling to be the people of God in their own localities. It promotes and co-ordinates strategies for mission and service to the community; stewards resources (people, buildings and money) ; exercises a ministry of encouragement, supervision and pastoral support of congregations and personnel; promotes a deeper fellowship within Presbytery with other local churches and in the world church; develops positive links with local authorities and other bodies and transacts all necessary business of a Court of the Church.

A short devotional thought for today

Its good to take some minutes out of a busy day to think, talk to God and listen to what He has to say to us. We hope you will find a daily oasis with God in this short daily devotional aid.
