history |
Helensburgh Original Secession Church was established as a congregation in 1822, with a minister ordained in 1825. It adhered to the Church of Scotland in 1839, but joined the exodus to the Free Church in 1843, as Helensburgh West. A new church was built in 1853. It passed successively to the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland, in the latter case as Helensburgh St Andrew's, which united in 1956 with Helensburgh Old as Helensburgh Old and St Andrew's. In 1981 Helensburgh The West Kirk was formed by the union of Helensburgh Old and St Andrew's and Helensburgh St Bride's. The Church of Scotland charge was in the presbytery of Dumbarton and the synod of Clydesdale. |
