A beautiful moment from our archives: a wedding at St Columba’s, Pont Street, in 1926. Nearly 100 years on, couples can still be married here. If you’d like to know more, contact the church office for details.

Christmas lights in tenement windows always take us back. For many of us who grew up in Glasgow, December meant spotting Christmas trees from the car, simpler times, fewer screens, and shared moments that stayed with us. What are your childhood Christmas memories?

St Columba’s has stood on Pont Street since 1884. A landmark of resilience, renewal and welcome for over 140 years. Proud of our history, and always looking forward.

Tom Stoppard, who sadly passed away recently, left us many timeless lines. One of the most moving comes from The Coast of Utopia: “Children are not the people of the future; they are people of the present.” A powerful reminder to value every life in the here and now.
