history |
A church was opened at Levern on the 30th May 1835 and in the following year a chapel constitution was granted to it, as was a distinct district. The parish of Levern was subsequently disjoined from the parishes of the Abbey of Paisley and of Eastwood in 1866, and erected quoad sacra. In 1940, following the union of the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church, Levern Parish church was united with the former United Free Church congregation of Nitshill to form the charge of Levern and Nitshill. After the union the old Levern parish church remained in use as the place of worship and the Nitshill church was demolished. Further union later followed in 1985 with Barrhead South under the name of Barrhead South and Levern. The Kirk Session sits within the Presbytery of Paisley. |
