Urban Expression: Glasgow

Vision

UE Glasgow TV Advert

Urban Expression Glasgow is a church-planting initiative in Scotland's largest city, with a vision to explore new patterns of church life that can be owned by the people of Glasgow's most deprived communities. It is a mission agency devoted to stimulating and nurturing new churches in these areas. Urban Expression Glasgow is committed to working in partnership with others and is keen to listen and learn from others. Urban Expression takes great care not to drain other local churches of their limited resources, but rather our aim is to encourage and support whenever possible.

Steering Group

A Steering Group maintains the values and vision of UE Glasgow. The group currently consists of leaders who also have connections with the Church of Scotland, the International Christian College and the Baptist Union of Scotland (for details of the steering group you can click on the "Who are we?" link below). The Steering Group is actively seeking to build relationships with Christian groups and churches interested in partnering with UE in urban mission. It is also dedicated to recruiting team leaders and team members, and to deploy these strategically in under-churched locations in the most deprived areas of Glasgow.

Urban Expression is a values-based agency with an evangelical-charismatic centre of gravity. 

Support - Partner Churches

We are building a network of partner churches in the city. These churches form links with our church planting teams, offer prayer support, learn about urban mission and are communities from which future team members or team leaders might come. The connections are very relational - its about a sense of shared journey and mutual support.
