Who we are
Welcome to Arthurlie Parish Church, Barrhead, Scotland.
Arthurlie is one of three Churches of Scotland in Barrhead, the other two being Bourock and South and Levern. The United Reformed Church (formerly the E.U.) has close associations with the Church of Scotland congregations.
Arthurlie Church has occupied a position in the centre of the town since 1793, when it was founded by a group of local people who had originally travelled to worship in the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow. After some time holding services in the open air, they built a church on Main Street, close to where the Health Centre now stands. That church was demolished in 1967 to allow a new road and Health Centre to be built. The new building was completed that year, on the entrance to Ralston Road.
South and Levern Church was built in 1846 to house the Free Church congregation that broke from the Established Bourock Church at the disruption of 1843. The church building is nestled in the town's Main Street.
In March 2013, both congregations overwhelmingly voted for the merger, with the appointment of Jim Cowan as minister.

Arthurlie Parish Church History
Â
Lord, teach me to listen.
The times are noisy and my ears are weary with the thousand raucous sounds which continuously assault them. Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, "Speak, for Thy servant heareth." Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy voice, that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of earth die away and the only sound will be the music of Thy speaking. Amen.
