Mission and outreach
We support God’s kingdom work locally, in Scotland and around the world through our own service as individuals, sending workers from our fellowship and the work of different people and organisations. You can find some of these in our links page.
Our strongest international partnership is with the work of BMS World Mission.
Upcoming events
Blythswood Shoe Box Appeal is a community-wide initiative to collect and sort filled shoeboxes for distribution to those in other countries in the run-up to Christmas. This is part of Blythswood’s national Shoe Box Appeal. There are lots of opportunities for involvement prior to and during the sort. Packing lists to fill your own box are available at church. This year (2026), the filled boxes from Tayside will again be sent to Ukraine after the sort in November.

Thank you – BBQ funds for Afghanistan
Thank you to everyone who came, helped and donated during our Community Fundraiser BBQ in August 2025.
Over £3,300 has been raised to support income generation for women in Afghanistan, through bee-keeping and wool spinning.
Women’s groups are already benefitting from 7 beehives. From one group, it recently enabled a Mum to pay for emergency medical care for her daughter. Before the beekeeping income she had no access to such emergency funds.
