The building of the new St Andrew's church was completed in 1974 and officially dedicated to the worship of God on Thursday 12th December 1974.In this photograph, the Church is the building on the right with the taller steeple. It consists of a Vestibule, a Toilet suitable for the Disabled, an Office (previously the Vestry) and the Sanctuary is on the right hand side.

When St Andrew's Church was completed in December 1974, it was just this building that was built at that time. We still made use of the Old Church hall and a Wooden hall and rooms in the Old Church.The building was funded entirely by the efforts of the congregation in a dedicated 'Giving Campaign', all of which was organised by the New Church Society (NCS) from 1968 to 1973, when the foundation stone was laid.

The New Hall is to the left of the church and has a separate entrance leading to a corridor with the Hall to the left, the kitchen behind that, storage cupboards, the new Vestry, a Session Room and Ladies' and Gent's toilets.Interior view of the church showing the Pulpit and Communion Table.
Barrie Linning supplied this one, and the following 3 photographs, on the occasion of the church's Girls' Brigade company's Prize Giving (95th Glasgow).A similar view showing the Pulpit, Communion Table and Open Bible.
The flowers were supplied by the Church's Girls' Brigade (95th Glasgow company) on the occasion of their Prize Giving. At Baillieston St Andrew's the Communion Table is used primarily for the celebration of the Lord's Supper. The Communion Table is NOT an altar. Altars were used (in the Old Testament) for sacrifice, but since Christ's 'once for all' (and never to be repeated) sacrifice on the cross at Calvary, there is no longer any need for an altar (He 7:20-28)The Girls' Brigade Captain flanked by two of her officers.
The Girls' Brigade Prize Giving was a celebration of the achivements of the girls throughout the session 2007-2008. The church was packed not just with the large number of girls and officers of the 95th Glasgow company but many parents, friends and church members. A retiring offering was taken in aid of the restoration of the Old Church hall which is used by the Girls' Brigade every Tuesday evening.Some of the Girls' Brigade officers.
At the The Girls' Brigade Prize Giving event, the officers and girls brilliantly performed a version of Andrew Lloyd Weber's 'Joseph and his amazing technicolour coat' - It really was very well received by everyone who attended.
