Wellington Church, Category A listed church in Hillhead, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Wellington Church stands opposite the University of Glasgow with a Roman Classical design featuring prominent Corinthian columns and a grand portico.
The congregation originated in 1792 as an Anti-Burgher group before moving to the current building, designed by Thomas Lennox Watson in 1884.
The church serves the university community through various programs, including an International Welcome Club that provides English language instruction to newcomers.
Sunday services take place at 11:00 AM, while the Crypt Cafe opens on weekdays during university terms from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
The church sanctuary functions as a university lecture theater during term time through an agreement established with Glasgow University in 2022.
