history |
Bridge of Teith began as a secession church formed in 1740. Originally meeting at Thornhill, the seat of the congregation was moved to Bridge of Teith in 1743. The first minister was ordained in 1747 and shortly after, on the issue of the Breach over the Burgess Oath, the church allied to the Associate Synod (Burghers). When the Associate Synod united with the General Associate Synod in 1820 the church became part of the United Secession Church and then, from 1847, part of the United Presbyterian Church. Bridge of Teith Church was in the Presbytery of Stirling (which was for sometime the Presbytery of Stirling and Dunblane). It was dissolved in 1948. |
