history |
Airdrie, South Bridge Street, Second United Associate Congregation was an offshoot from Newarthill Antiburgher Church, arising partly from a dispute over its financial management. A petition for disjunction was made to Glasgow Secession Presbytery in 1833 and a church was built in Graham Square, Airdrie. In 1841, during a vacancy, the congregation voted to transfer from the Secession to the Relief and successfully petitioned the Relief Presbytery of Glasgow for adherence. They then built a church in South Bridge Street. It passed successively to the United Presbyterian and United Free Churches, in the latter case as Airdrie South Bridge Street, and to the Church of Scotland, before being dissolved in 1973. The Church of Scotland charge was in the presbytery of Hamilton and the synod of Clydesdale. |
