Ceilidh to raise funds for the Organ Project, An Organ for Glasgow – 24 October 2025. Tickets here.
God Factor Course
Course for Enquirers…St Mary’s Cathedral offers a course called The God Factor. This is a course designed for anyone with questions about the Christian faith and what it may offer to everyday life and to the world today. It is designed equally for people who don’t go to church, for people who do but find themselves exploring or re-thinking their faith, and for anyone interested. It is not high pressure sales, nor can we promise to have a clever answer for every question, but we aim to make it relevant and it can be fun. For some people it may lead to baptism or confirmation. The course starts on 19 October and will take place from 12.45 pm to 2.15 pm
To enquire about the course or to book a place, please fill in the form below. The course is open to anyone who has not done the God Factor course before.
