Auchterderran Parish Records
- Auchterderran Kirk Session:
The medieval church of Auchterderran was granted c1059 to St. Serf's
Priory, Loch Leven. Ministry began in 1567 under George Boswell,
minister. Throughout its existence as a kirk session, Auchterderran has
been within the jurisdiction of Kirkcaldy Presbytery. The Parish church
of the modern era was built in 1789, being further extended in 1891. On
2 September 1979 Auchterderran became linked with Kinglassie, followed
on 18 September 1991 by being linked with St. Fothad's, Cardenden.
- Lochgelly St Andrews Kirk Session:
The parish of Lochgelly was established in 1868 when it was disjoined
from that of Auchterderran and of Ballingry and erected quoad sacra, a
chapel which had been erected at Lochgelly in 1855 became the parish
church. The kirk session, which remains active today, sat within the
Presbytery of Kirkcaldy, later of Dunfermline and Kinross and,
following the restructuring of the Presbyteries in 1976, it became part
of the Presbytery of Dunfermline.
- Lochgelly Free Church (later Macainsh United Free then
Church of Scotland):
Lochgelly Free Church began in 1849 with services in a subscription
school. The charge was sanctioned in 1856 and a church building erected
the following year. It passed successively to the United Free Church,
as Lochgelly Macainsh, and to the Church of Scotland. The Church of
Scotland charge is in the presbytery of Dunfermline (formerly
Dunfermline and Kinross) and was in the synod of Fife until the
abolition of synods in 1993.
- Lochgelly (burgher) Associate congregation, (later United
Presbyterian, United Free (Churchmount) and Church of Scotland):
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.
