Community Survey for Paisley South Church



Paisley South Church of Scotland was formed in 2020 with the joining together of St Luke’s and Lylesland Churches. We are an inclusive and welcoming Church, celebrating our diversity and the dignity of every person. Collectively, our roots in this community go back to the 1830’s, and we want to continue to be supporting you and working alongside you for many years to come.

We want to make sure that our presence in this area is providing what you need, and contributes to the good of our community. To help us do this, we would love to hear from you as we take a fresh look at how we can work alongside one another.
