August 2022

It has been a great privilege to become the new East Kilbride Debt Centre Manager based in East Mains Baptist Church. I am very much looking forward to getting into my new role and linking in with the you all as partnership churches.

Firstly, let me begin by telling you a little bit about myself. I am married to Fiona, my wife of 13 years and we have 3 Children together, Leah (11), Matthew (5) and Eva (3). Prior to this role I worked in the health and social care sector for 16 years, this being divided up as 9 years as a support worker to adults with learning difficulties and then spending a total of 7 years training for and then working as a social worker. During my time in social work I picked up experience of working in Children’s Justice, Adults and Older People and also briefly worked at Glasgow Sheriff Court as a Criminal Justice worker.

In my spare time I often enjoy hill climbing and am looking to bag a few more Munros before the year is out! I also love anything football related and enjoy watching the games when I can. Matthew and Eva enjoy playing football and visiting the swing park, while Leah and I have been enjoying riding our bikes this summer.

In September I begin my studies at Cornhill where I look to expand on my biblical knowledge and learn how to handle God’s word through expository preaching. Learning more about God’s word has always been a passion and I’m very excited to see where that leads in the years ahead. My commitment is to split my working week between my duties at CAP and Cornhill to make up a full working week.

I am fully committed to the challenge ahead and genuinely excited about getting to know you all and learning from those who have been so committed in their roles to date.

If you'd like to find out more about the work of CAP or if you, or someone you know, requires support from our team, please contact me on 07305181820 or email alanwilkin@capuk.org

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

Thank you for visiting our website. At the very heart of Calderwood Baptist Church is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ shows us what God is like and how we can have a relationship with God. And we believe that the only way to have this relationship with God is through Jesus' death and resurrection, which provides forgiveness and life to all who believe. It is our desire to share this life transforming news with people throughout East Kilbride and further afield.

Whether you're looking for a church or are interested in exploring Christianity, we hope you'll connect with us and begin to explore the good news about Jesus Christ. We are a church where you can connect with us and find a welcoming and loving community with a desire to serve you. We are a place where you can explore Christianity and find out who Jesus is and what it means to follow him. We are a church where you are invited to belong to our family who are united by our faith in Jesus and our trust in his saving death.

We are also a church that loves our community here in East Kilbride so we have a variety of ministries that seek to serve our community - information about these is included in our website. If there are other ways that we can serve you, please do reach out to us.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Connect

Our Sunday services are a great way to connect with us and to begin your journey of getting to know us as a church and getting to know who Jesus is. You'll also get the chance to meet different people, some who have been Christians for a long time, some who are quite new to faith, and others who are still exploring. We really do our best to make everyone welcome!

You can also connect with us through a number of mid-week ministries that we run for our community and through our coffee shop, Hunter House Coffee Shop.

Explore

At Calderwood, our desire is to know Jesus Christ and to make him known. Everything that we need to know about our Lord Jesus Christ is found in his living word, the Bible. So we take the Bible seriously, we read it and listen to it so we can hear what God is saying to us. If you would like to explore who Jesus is and how he came into the world to rescue us, we'd encourage you to read a bit of the Bible with a Christian friend.

We would be happy to give you a Bible and direct you to some good places to start. We'd also be happy to connect you with a Christian who would be happy to read some of the Bible with you. This is a great way to explore the Bible, discuss it, and hear how it has changed someone else's life.

Belong

When we belong to Jesus Christ, we also belong to his family, the church. The church is a global family who are united by their belief in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. As a local church, we seek to live as family at Calderwood Baptist Church. Entrance into this family comes through faith in our Lord Jesus and our desire to live with Jesus, for Jesus, and according to his word. As a church, we extend an invitation to belong to Christ's family as we make him known and invite people to respond to the significance of Jesus in their lives. We practice baptism as a sign of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we take membership of Christ's church seriously as we seek to live together as a community of grace.
