Orthodox Community Of The Archangel Gabriel, Glasgow

An Orthodox chapel in Glasgow established in 2015.

A registered Scottish charity. Charity number SC047220

Our priest, Father Augustine (a native of Glasgow), was given a blessing by Archbishop Job of Telmessos to found a small community in the centre of the university neighbourhood, to be a place of worship for Orthodox believers and enquirers from all backgrounds. We have seen a desperate need in Glasgow for the message of the good news of Jesus Christ, contained in its fullness in the Orthodox Church, and our community hopes to begin to fulfil this need by celebrating our beautiful liturgical services in English, and by being available to teach, preach, give spiritual support, and visit the sick.

The community was kindly provided with a crypt room underneath the Wellington Church, University Avenue, by the Church of Scotland, in 2013. This room has been converted by the hard work of Fr Augustine and helpers.

We are grateful to the community of Wellington Church for their continued hospitality and warmly welcome all to the Divine Liturgy.
