Stow College

Faith and Religion

Sometimes when you are away from home – perhaps for the first time – and the familiar links to family, surrounding and culture are broken it can be especially comforting to be able to make contact with others who share your faith and traditions.

Glasgow has long been a very multi-cultural city, with many faiths well established and well-represented in business and in civil affairs. 

Almost all of the world’s main religions and faiths have one or more formal meeting places in or around Glasgow; Stow has strong links with a number of these and can help to put you in touch with religious leaders who can help you in all sorts of ways. 

Some of the key locations you might find useful are:

The Al-Furqan Mosque

In Carrington Street which is quite close to Stow city campus, between Great Western Road and West Prince’s Street.

The UK is still substantially a country in which Christianity is the main religious faith of the country and is still widely practised. All denominations of Christianity from Roman Catholicism to Presbyterianism, and embracing specialist faith practicing groups have centres in Glasgow.

Ask in Stow Learner Services staff if you need direction to a specific Church or place of worship.
