Port Glasgow Associate (Burgher) congregation had been formed before 1751 and was disjoined from Cartsdyke in 1790. A church was erected in 1791. In 1820 the United Secession Church was formed by the amalgamation of the Associate (Burgher) Synod and the General Associate (Antiburgher) Synod. In 1847 the United Secession Church united with the Relief Church to form the United Presbyterian Church. In 1900 following the union of the United Presbyterian Church with the Free Church, the congregation became Port Glasgow Princes Street United Free Church, Presbytery of Greenock.
