We welcome you to our website and trust that you will find it helpful.
We are a welcoming fellowship of the Christian Church in Kilsyth.
It has been 2 years since we had to vacate our Church premises, and we
continue to meet at the old library on Burn Green.
The move to the Old Library, has realised a new sense of fellowship as a
people of God. Our church as a people are positively in great spirit. It
has been encouraging to see the Body of Christ in action as real caring
support of one another is evident among our members, particularly during
crisis . The evidence is in: We are the Church without walls!
LOOKING FORWARD:
In history of the Church in Kilsyth, the Wesleyan emphasis of the Gospel
has played a part in the history of spiritual revival which took place here,
but on account of our renewed existence as a fellowship of people we look
forward in renewed hope!
God has not finished with the Church's purpose in the world,neither here in
Kilsyth. As Kilsyth Methodist Church we believe that we are still a Church
with purpose. God continues to call us as part of the body of Christ here
to continue contributing to the character of our community. We believe
that God is met through Jesus Christ who encourages, challenges and
inspires us to a better quality and way of life. God has intervened in the
world through the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus, so
giving eternal life and hope as a present reality to all who respond to
God's grace in Jesus Christ .
Ephesians 2:19-22:
19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow
citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20built on the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the
chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building is joined together and rises
to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22And in him you too are being built
together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
Come and meet us:
Should you decide to visit us on a Sunday morning, you will be warmly
welcomed to our fellowship where people are valued.
This coming year, we look forward to God leading us in new ways to
expand our fellowship into the community in which we live.
Our Old Church Building. (Vacated in 2007)
The first place of worship for Methodists stood on this site. It was constructed in 1840, thirteen years after the first open air preaching at the town cross. The Congregation grew and there was need for the present building, now vacant which dates from 1884.
News:
We have been in consultation for some time about the future of the building.We have made decisions about the premises which will lead us into a new phase in our history and presence in Kilsyth. We are, as a congregation, in prayer for God's leading forward and are very hopeful about the future.
