Address: Junction of Kerse Lane and Bellevue Street, Falkirk.

The church was built in 1863/4 to provide a permanent location for the congregation that had met in various temporary premises since the start of the 19th century. The church was built to a Norman design and designed by Robert Roward Anderson of Edinburgh. It consists of a four bay nave with a porch at the north-west corner, a south transept opening through two of the bays, a chancel with organ aisle, semi-circular apse and a vestry under the organ aisle. The roof is open timber, and the nave is lightened by plain single-light pointed windows. The chancel and apse have five narrow pointed headed windows and a two-light with plate tracery enclosed in an outer pointed arch. The church has buttresses at the corners, while the west gable is surmounted by a ceramic cross. The east gable has a bellcote at the junction of the nave and chancel. The main church is built in rubble, with a band of red sandstone near the top of the walls.

The interior of yellow brick banded with red has seen some alterations but has retained its charm. Modern reredos. Visconti electronic organ.

My thanks to Rev. Ruth Innes for her permission to photograph the memorials.
