Establishment of Cathcart congregational church
The church was founded as the Cathcart Congregational Church in 1921, serving as a spiritual home for its congregation for decades.
Pastor Andrew & Shamini Akilan are the Lead Pastors of the Lead Church based in Glasgow, since September 2022.
Their desire is to establish a multi-cultural, multi-generational church group that will lovingly and compassionately reach out to the community in the Grace of Christ, the Love of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit.
In addition, they aim to provide physical, material, mental/emotional, and spiritual care for the community. They are passionate and dedicated to helping people find their purpose in God.
They’ve been married since 2014 and live in Glasgow with 3 beautiful children.
Our desire is that everybody at Lead Church
Church feels seen and can find lasting community.

Establishment of Cathcart congregational church
The church was founded as the Cathcart Congregational Church in 1921, serving as a spiritual home for its congregation for decades.
Struggling times and near closure
Over the years, multiple ministers came and went, and the church faced challenges that led to it almost closing down.
Divine connections and Pastor Andrew Akilan
The building was given to Pastor Andrew Akilan, who was called to re-establish the church and continue pastoring the existing congregation.
Rebirth as Lead Church
With the support of the Church of God World Mission, the church was re- planted as Lead Church, embarking on a new journey.
Baptism is a public celebration of moving from death to life through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that baptism is one of the most powerful ways we can carry the name of Jesus to the world, and the first step of obedience, as we follow the example of Jesus through baptism.
