Welcome to a community of people dedicated to providing a faith-filled space for everyone.

A stone church with a small bell tower and arched windows, surrounded by a chain-link fence decorated with pink, purple, and red flowers, with cloudy skies overhead.

For us, faith is more than what we believe — it’s something we live. It shapes how we care for others, show up in our community, and help people thrive. Come as you are — you’re welcome here.

Get In Touch

A message from our minister, Rev. Gray Fletcher:

“Welcome to Elderslie and Linwood Parish Church. Rooted in tradition yet alive to today’s world, we seek a faith that speaks to everyday life.

Our church is more than a building for Sunday worship — it’s a welcoming, vibrant hub where people of all ages come together to celebrate, grow, question, and belong.

Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to it, or simply curious, you’ll find our doors open to you.”

Elderslie & Linwood

Two communities, each with their own rich and diverse past, famous for car manufacturing, carpets and Scottish History, our Churches united on 1st January 2025, and we continue to grow and develop whilst building a presence in both communities.
