Welcome to our New Members

New members 6

We were delighted to welcome three new members by profession of faith and baptism on Palm Sunday.

Wei (27) has been worshipping with us since she moved to Anniesland in 2023.

She says: “the people I've met have been so welcoming and supportive that I feel truly at home here. I am excited to become a full member of this church as part of my journey of putting down roots in Scotland. Having been raised Anglican since birth and baptised as a child, I finally feel empowered to be able to choose to commit to faith as an adult. I am looking forward to participating more fully in the spiritual life of the Christian community and walking with God every day”

Amanda (29) has been part of the Anniesland church family since she was a young girl as her great grandmother, gran, mum and her brother and sister all attended Sunday morning worship. Amanda used to attend Sunday school and was also in Rainbows and Brownies as a child and really enjoyed that.

She says: “I have always found the congregation very friendly and helpful.

As a child growing up, going to church and Sunday Club was part of our family routine.

When you become an adult, you might not come to church every Sunday due to personal circumstances or even drift away altogether, but you do not forget the teachings of your faith. I think becoming a mother reawakened that need of wanting to come back to the church. My partner Lee and I want our son Oliver to know and grow up in the warmth of a loving church family.

On becoming a member of the church, I hope to become involved in church actives and others thing that the church does and become a part of Knightwood Anniesland Trinity Church family.”

Lee (29) is partner to Amanda and dad to little Oliver, who was baptised in July of last year. The three of them have been joining us for worship during the past year, and today Lee himself was baptised. Lee says: “When I first came along with them everyone was welcoming and made me feel comfortable. My mum and gran are also Christians and attend church in Greenock, in which I attended Sunday Club as a little boy. There I learned about God and started to become interested in religion. My gran is unfortunately not with us as she passed away in 2025.

I find being in a church environment helps me understand more about the bible and learn more about my faith. I am looking forward to becoming member of the church and getting guidance on become a good Christian and to bring my son Oliver up in the church family. I also would like to volunteer with activities and give my time and effort to the church.”

During the service the congregation also professed their faith and we renewed our commitment to nurture one another in faith, uphold one another in prayer and encourage one another in service.

After the service we enjoyed a special celebration cake with church members and visitors. It was a very happy day.

If anyone would like to find out more about become a full member of the church or just wants to know more about the Christian faith, please speak to or contact Hanneke, the minister (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
