There also existed a mission chapel of St. Andrews within the parish. In 1958 Alexandria Parish Church, which became known as Alexandria Old, was linked with Bonhill North. This linking arrangement was however terminated in 1975 to permit a union on the same date between the two session under the name of Alexandria St. Andrew's. A further union was establish in 1994 between Alexandria St. Andrew's and Alexandria North under the name of Alexandria.
