History
|
Alloa West Parish Church had its origins in the request in 1765 of a number of citizens of Alloa to the Associate (Burgher) Synod to be taken under its charge. A session was formed and a minister settled in 1769. The church was in the Presbytery of Stirling. In c 1800 there was a secession of 310 members and 160 adherents to the Auld Licht cause, leaving the New Licht members with the West. In 1820 on the union of the Associate Synod and the General Associate Synod this church under the name of Alloa West Secession Church became a church of the United Secession Church. In 1847 the USC united with the Relief Church to form the United Presbyterian Church and the congregation became known as Alloa West United Presbyterian. With the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church in 1900 the congregation became Alloa West United Free Church, and then, in 1929 with the Union of the United Free and the Church of Scotland it became Alloa West. In 1941 Greenside Mission, Alloa, was united with the Alloa West congregation.
