The Craigneuk & Belhaven Parish Church (Church of Scotland) opened for worship on Craigneuk Street in 1897, and which united with the former Craigneuk Parish Church in 1976 which was subsequently used for a youth employment project in 1977 before being demolished, and St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church on Shieldmuir Street in 1898 are major landmarks of the suburb. The two churches have held an ecumenical carol service at Christmas since 1976 featuring their own choirs and choirs from the local primary schools and also now hold an ecumenical service at the war memorial each Remembrance Sunday. Craigneuk and Belhaven Parish church also became linked to North Motherwell Parish Church in Motherwell in 2018.
