Welcome to Helensburgh URC

Welcome to Helensburgh United Reformed Church. We are a lively church, and one of the best ways to get to know us is to check out the news page and come along sometime!

We have the distinction of being both the oldest and the newest church in the town. Confused? Well our roots go back to 1799 when Congregational Worship started in a local house. 1802 saw the opening of the first church building on the site followed by a bigger one, now our hall, in the 1840s. In the 1870s the current santuary was built. So we are old! However in 2000 the Scottish Congregational Church became part of the United Reformed Church – so we are young too!

Let us tell you something different about us.

The United Reformed Church of Scotland is tiny with just 52 churches and 4500 members. We are also part of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches which is a fellowship of 75 million Reformed Christians in 107 countries. That makes us very big indeed.

Young and old, big and small, that’s the Helensburgh United Reformed Church and… ALL ARE WELCOME IN THIS PLACE.
