history |
Alva Free Church was part of the Free Church of Scotland formed after the Disruption of 1843. Initially only a few had decided for the Free Church and attempts were made to combine with Tillicoultry but in 1846 the charge was sanctioned and a church opened in 1848. After the union of the Free Church with the United Presbyterians in 1900 it became Alva West United Free Church. Alva West was dissolved in 1931 following the union of the Church of Scotland with the United Free Church. It was part of the Presbytery of Stirling (sometime Stirling and Dunblane) The Kirk Session functioned in a similar manner to Church of Scotland Sessions. |
