Our Cluster Teams:
Each of our congregations is represented by a Cluster Team. The team consists of up to five members plus the minister. Their main job is to meet regularly to do what Glasgow Presbytery has asked us to do - to assess where we are, and to plan where we would like to be under the new Presbytery Mission Plan. The General Assembly has directed that every Presbytery submit its Plan for approval by the end of 2022.
We ask for your continued prayers as we seek to discern God’s future for our Churches.

Our Cluster Mission Plan, Revised, March 2023
Our Plan: Union of Blawarthill, Broomhill Hyndland and Jordanhill by the end of the Presbytery Plan period – i.e. Session 2027/28.
On the occurrence of a vacancy at any of the three (most likely through retirement), Linkage between the vacant congregation and another in the Cluster, as an intermediate step.
The option of further adjustment to expedite progress towards the aim of Union, depending on developments and subject to annual review, for the most effective deployment of our 2.5 FTE ministry allocation.
Retention of St Columba’s linked status within any wider adjustment for the foreseeable future.
Immediate and intentional collaboration between all four congregations.
