October 2022

Hi again everyone,

I can’t believe I have been in post since August. After a shaky start due to my family’s first brush with Covid, things are starting to get busy at the debt centre. I have been able to get round most of the partnership churches to properly introduce myself and even managed to share more information when my family and I visited Westwood Baptist recently so thanks to Mark Pexton and the congregation for such a warm welcome.

I have also made contact with the East Kilbride Job Centre and been given an excellent opportunity to promote the work we are doing to an organisation that works closely with people whom may need our help. Furthermore, I have also been given the opportunity to work from the Job Centre once a month and be on hand to speak with their clients directly about how CAP may be able to help them.

Prayer points

As partnership churches if you would be able to pray for the people out there that feel that they have no way out. A staggering 35% of current CAP clients have felt like attempting or have attempted suicide.
Please pray that we are able to market our strategy in areas where the people that need us most are able to hear about the work we do.
Our prayer is that people with debt will feel empowered enough to make the call to CAP - this is a huge step for people so a specific prayer point here would be for these people to have the courage to make that first step and calling the CAP number on 0800 328 006.

The author of the book of Jude finishes their letter by highlighting Jesus in the most wonderful way as they point to Him in all his glory. May this encourage you as it was meant to encourage its original audience and may the people we serve at the East Kilbride Debt centre come to know our wonderful God.

“To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy - to the only God our Saviour be glory majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord before all ages, now and for ever more! Amen”

If you'd like to find out more about the work of CAP or if you, or someone you know, requires support from our team, please contact me on 07305181820 or email alanwilkin@capuk.org

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

Thank you for visiting our website. At the very heart of Calderwood Baptist Church is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ shows us what God is like and how we can have a relationship with God. And we believe that the only way to have this relationship with God is through Jesus' death and resurrection, which provides forgiveness and life to all who believe. It is our desire to share this life transforming news with people throughout East Kilbride and further afield.

Whether you're looking for a church or are interested in exploring Christianity, we hope you'll connect with us and begin to explore the good news about Jesus Christ. We are a church where you can connect with us and find a welcoming and loving community with a desire to serve you. We are a place where you can explore Christianity and find out who Jesus is and what it means to follow him. We are a church where you are invited to belong to our family who are united by our faith in Jesus and our trust in his saving death.

We are also a church that loves our community here in East Kilbride so we have a variety of ministries that seek to serve our community - information about these is included in our website. If there are other ways that we can serve you, please do reach out to us.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Connect

Our Sunday services are a great way to connect with us and to begin your journey of getting to know us as a church and getting to know who Jesus is. You'll also get the chance to meet different people, some who have been Christians for a long time, some who are quite new to faith, and others who are still exploring. We really do our best to make everyone welcome!

You can also connect with us through a number of mid-week ministries that we run for our community and through our coffee shop, Hunter House Coffee Shop.

Explore

At Calderwood, our desire is to know Jesus Christ and to make him known. Everything that we need to know about our Lord Jesus Christ is found in his living word, the Bible. So we take the Bible seriously, we read it and listen to it so we can hear what God is saying to us. If you would like to explore who Jesus is and how he came into the world to rescue us, we'd encourage you to read a bit of the Bible with a Christian friend.

We would be happy to give you a Bible and direct you to some good places to start. We'd also be happy to connect you with a Christian who would be happy to read some of the Bible with you. This is a great way to explore the Bible, discuss it, and hear how it has changed someone else's life.

Belong

When we belong to Jesus Christ, we also belong to his family, the church. The church is a global family who are united by their belief in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. As a local church, we seek to live as family at Calderwood Baptist Church. Entrance into this family comes through faith in our Lord Jesus and our desire to live with Jesus, for Jesus, and according to his word. As a church, we extend an invitation to belong to Christ's family as we make him known and invite people to respond to the significance of Jesus in their lives. We practice baptism as a sign of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we take membership of Christ's church seriously as we seek to live together as a community of grace.
