Restoring St David's
A Place to Worship God, Serve our Community and Reach the World.
We are thrilled to have purchased the former St David’s Church in the centre of Bathgate. Our goal is to transform this historic building into a permanent home for our church. St David’s will again be a sacred space for worshipping God and serving the community.
Our Plans
While acknowledging the historical and architectural history of St David’s, our plans for this iconic building include innovative solutions for using traditional space. The past and the future will blend together as sandstone, glass, and timber provide a simple but elegant setting for church worship and community events.

A New Centre for the Community
Throughout its 164-year history, St David’s was a centre of spiritual life and community service, and Centrepoint plans to revive this tradition by hosting weekly worship services and using St David's as a community hub. In addition, the building will be home to a school of ministry that will train pastors, missionaries and church leaders from across the globe.

How will the money raised for renovations be used?
All funds collected will be used to pay for the renovations as planned and overseen by Konishi Gaffney Architects. Your contribution will go directly towards material costs such as the sanctuary renovation (new flooring, panelling, lighting, and A/V), children and community spaces, and infrastructure costs such as plumbing and electric work. In partnership with our charity trustees, Whitelaw Wells, our external accountant ensures that all funds will be used for the renovation of St David’s.
When will St David’s be open?
We will begin the construction phase of renovation once planning permission has been granted and the funds have been raised. We aim to open St David’s to our church and the community as soon as the necessary renovation works are complete.
