history |
Melville United Free Church was formed, as the Congregation of the Associate Presbytery, in c 1800 when the Burghers split into Auld Licht and New Licht causes. The congregation was Auld Licht and split from the congregation which became Alloa West. A church was built in King Street, Alloa. The congregation joined with the Church of Scotland in 1839 as Alloa East but left at the disruption and became part of the Free Church. In 1900 it became Melville United Free Church and in 1909 it united with Chalmers United Free Church.The Kirk Session functioned in a similar manner to Sessions of the Church of Scotland. |
