history |
Lochgelly (Burgher) Associate Congregation originated with a petition to the Burgher Presbytery of Dunfermline for supply of sermon in 1763. The petitioners were from a number of surrounding parishes, but Lochgelly was chosen as the site of the church, from its central location. The first minister was ordained in 1767. It passed successively to United Presbyterian and United Free Churches, in the latter case as Lochgelly Churchmount, and to the Church of Scotland. The Church of Scotland charge, which was in the presbytery of Dunfermline and Kinross and the synod of Fife, was dissolved in 1980. |
