MOSAIC's Locale
Partick is unique in the
landscape of the West End. Traditionally a working class area, Partick,
which sits along the banks of the Clyde River, is still suffering from the
decline of the ship building industry in the 1970s. As part of its focus of
being a missional church, Mosaic now holds its gatherings in a community
centre - The Annexe - in the heart of Partick. The Mosaic community is
investing in relationships with the centre, other local churches, and
Partick charitable organisations in order to develop partnerships to serve
the community and incarnate the gospel. In September 2006, Mosaic hired its
first full-time and first Scottish staff member. This is an important step
for the church as it tries to reach out to the youth of Partick, address
social poverty issues, and increasingly become a sustainable and
locally led missional church.
