Church
House, Boden Street
Since 1942 Bridgeton, Church House has been
reaching out to children and young people of the Inner East End of Glasgow
some from difficult backgrounds, helping them to find fullness of life,
physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and interpersonally in one
of the most deprived areas in Western Europe.......oor Brigton!

The church building, which used to be the
old London Road East Church which was next to the
Bethany Congregational, was made available to St Francis-in-the-East for
use as a Church House and is probably the longest established facility of
its kind in Scotland.
