We aim to be a friendly, welcoming Church where people of all ages can joyfully take part in worship, prayer and fellowship as they grow together in faith; to be known as a caring Church, reaching out to and serving the community, encouraging others to join us in hearing God's word and having a living relationship with Jesus Christ. |

Welcome to Baljaffray Parish Church! |

We are a busy and active church and you can find us in Bearsden on the northern edge of Glasgow. We belong to the Church of Scotland, the largest denomination in Scotland, and we are one of its youngest congregations.
In our worship we seek to meet with God and to deepen our relationship with Him. Knowing God and worshipping Him is really important to us and we see what we do in church on a Sunday as something that informs and guides us in all areas of life. Our style of worship is fairly informal. We seek to understand and think through the message of Bible. We sing modern and traditional hymns. We pray for ourselves and for others. People of all ages play a significant role in our church. And, because friendship is such an important part of being a church, many of us stay behind after the service to meet with each other over a cup of tea or coffee.
Above all we meet together with an expectation that we will encounter God and that we will hear his voice and feel his presence. If you would like to join us on a Sunday you will be made very welcome! |

 Baljaffray Parish Church is a Fair Trade Church.
We promote Fair Trade through events in the Church -
The Fair Trade Group has once again taken up the challenge from Just trading Scotland, the wholesale side of Balmore Coach House, to sell 90Kg of rice. The proceeds will enable a farmer in Malawi to send one of their children to secondary school for a year.
The rice is good for risotto, paella , pilaf and other rice dishes, and is also great when just boiled.
Kilombero Long Grained Aromatic Rice from Malawi - 1kg for £3.
There is more information on the Just Trading Scotland website. |
