Here at Bellshill Central, you will find a warm welcome from committed Christian people who are serious about their faith journey but also enjoy having a good time. You will find passionate worship, which seeks to incorporate both the traditional and the new, and preaching that tries hard to make the Scripture message relevant to our daily living. If you want a Church that will honour your journey of faith and challenge you to go deeper into your relationship with Jesus Christ, then this is the place for you, and we are delighted to welcome you. Let no one feel a stranger in this place!
We meet at various time throughout the week, but central to our activities is Sunday worship held each week at 11:00am, to which all are welcome.
Bellshill: Central Parish Church was formed in March 2014 when the former Macdonald Memorial and Orbiston Parish Churches were united as one.

Part of the outreach of the former Orbiston Parish Church is the Orbiston Neighbourhood Centre which provides a community focus for adults and young people. The Neighbourhood Centre uses our buildings at Orbiston.
Our members are actively involved in the day to day activities and planning, and the Centre forms an integral part of our parish.
We support within our parish the activities of ORBISTON NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE.
We particularly support in practical terms the Community Fridge Initiative at Orbiston Neighbourhood Centre. We collect non-perishable food stuffs, toiletries, and cleaning products that are taken to be used for the people of our town
