Fire-ravaged Cumbernauld church to be rebuilt

At the recent service prayers were offered in thanksgiving for the people, churches and organisations who have supported the congregation over the past year, and for everyone who helped ministry and community outreach work to continue.

The Rev Gemmell said the new building will serve as a “beacon of Christ’s love, hope and grace” in the heart of the North Lanarkshire town.

He said: “A year ago, we stood in shock as we watched our church building burn.

“We look forward to the day when a new church will stand on this site—a place where people will encounter the love of Jesus Christ, and a beacon of his hope and grace for our whole community.”

St Mungo’s was part of Trinity Parish Church, a union formed from Cumbernauld Old Church and Kildrum and St Mungo’s churches in 2024.

In the aftermath of the fire residents told BBC Scotland News they feared the original landmarks and heritage of the town were disappearing, after several cases of fire and vandalism there.
