Our History
Netherlee Church was initially assigned to the United Free Church when a site was secured in 1926. Services began in 1928 in what are now, the Church halls. The church grew quickly, and in 1929, when the United Free Church amalgamated with the Church of Scotland, Netherlee became a parish. The current church building, designed by Stewart and Paterson, was completed in 1934. The church continued to expand with facilities for Sunday schools and community events. In 1968, the church acquired Kirk House at 552 Clarkston Road, which was sold in 2015 to fund improvements; it is now a family home.
Stamperland Church was formed in 1939, with services held in an air raid shelter of a local garage before moving to a shop at 38 Stamperland Crescent. Despite wartime struggles, the congregation worked hard to build a permanent church, first with the halls which were opened in 1941 on Stamperland Gardens, then to the main church, designed by J Thompson King & Partners, dedicated in 1964.
The Glasgow Presbytery Plan led to the two churches forming a ‘linkage leading to union’, with the Service of Linkage taking place on 6th September 2018. On 26th January 2020, the Service of Union took place and Netherlee and Stamperland Parish Church was formed. Thereafter, the difficult decision had to be taken as to which of the buildings would be the site of worship. The building on Ormonde Drive was chosen and in 2023, the Stamperland building was acquired by the Sunni Muslim community and is now a Muslim place of worship and community centre.
