By the early 1980's numbers had depleted although a new spirit of unity had brought a period of blessing. Sadly, due to circumstances, the Church closed as a place of worship in 1997. The building was used for children and youth activities for several years.
In 2001 Bobby & Mairi Sneddon, original members of the Church since 1985, were commended to full time service in Johnstone by Mission Organisation, Gospel Literature Outreach. Their vision was to see the Church “re-born” and used again as a place of worship that would also serve the needs of the community. Soon a core leadership team came together which included committed Christians Graeme & Llinos Burt and G.L.O workers John & Fiona Dick.
With God's direction and blessing the doors of “Dimity St Church” were opened for Sunday Worship on October 5th 2003.
Over the last few years we have seen many families & young people come and enjoy the new style of worship and we have expanded many areas of ministry an service for the community as more people have been involved.
In Nov 07 we had to move our family service to Thorn primary as
the facilities in the current Dimity Street hall were not sufficient to cope
with the growth of the church. We still have many of the activities based at
DSC, and look to God for guidance as we seek to serve him in the community of
Johnstone.
