history |
The congregation of Dunfermline North Free Church, which sat within the Presbytery of Dunfermline, was established in 1843 at the time of the Disruption, when the minister and the congregation of Dunfermline North Church Extension charge adhered to the Free Church. The congregation continued to worship in the church until 1849 when they were deprived of it by interdict and a new church was consequently opened in that same year. The church, which was situated in the center of Dunfermline, drew members from a wide area and mission work was additionally carried out in outlying areas. In 1900, upon the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church of Scotland, Dunfermline North Free Church became Dunfermline North United Free Church and following the 1929 union of the United Free Church of Scotland and the Church of Scotland, Dunfermline North United Free Church was renamed Dunfermline St John's Church of Scotland. A number of years thereafter in 1958, Dunfermline St John's Church of Scotland united with the congregation of Dunfermline St Columba's, under the name of Dunfermline St Paul's. |
