St John's Renfield Church, Category B listed church building in Kelvindale, Glasgow, Scotland
St John's Renfield Church is a church building with modern Gothic architecture in Glasgow. Completed in 1931, it features an openwork lead spire and detailed stonework across its outer walls.
The congregation was formed in 1923 through the merger of two established churches, joining two different religious traditions. Its roots reach back to Glasgow's early industrial period.
The stained glass windows inside were created by Scottish artists and showcase the craftwork of the 1930s. Visitors can see the original wooden carvings and carefully designed glasswork throughout the interior.
The building is open for services on Sundays, while the church office is staffed on select weekdays for inquiries. It is helpful to check ahead about visiting times, as access may vary depending on the day.
The church draws ongoing attention for its blend of modern architectural vision with traditional craftsmanship from the interwar period. This balance between innovation and tradition makes the building particularly interesting to those who study architecture.
