Posting on social media, the church said: "We are really sad to announce that we will be closing Ruchazie Church after our final service on Sunday 14th May 2023.

'Since the pandemic we have not seen people coming back to church and so it is with real regret that we are announcing this closure.

"All hall bookings will be honoured but no new bookings will be taken until a decision has been made about the future of the building.

"Thank you for your support and we pray God's blessing on the community of Ruchazie in the years to come. John 12:24."
