The Building
Designed by Wilson & Son and Honeyman (now Honeyman, Jack and Robertson); Williamwood was dedicated 28 June 1937. Built in 1937 as a church extension charge, the church is a fine example of mid-1930s church architecture. Built in red brick with a short belltower, the original and somewhat austere interior has been upgraded and enriched.
Williamwood Parish Church houses an early Allen Digital Organ. The two manual and pedal organ (Model MOS-600) was installed in 1971. It was one of the first Digital Organs installed by the Allen Organ Company.
Ministry
Williamwood has only been served by 5 ministers.
The congregation is currently without a minister since the move of Rev Iain Reid, who was minister from 2007 - 2014, to congregation of Paisley: Glenburn. He had formerly been Chaplain to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He was assisted from September 2011 to May 2012 by Ann McCormick (Ordained Local Ministry Student).
The previous minister, Rev G Hutton B Steel (1990–2006) is now minister of Aberdeen: High Hilton.
