The congregation was founded in 1723.
The Presbyterian church was influenced by Calvinism which rejected bishops and believed that the church should be governed by a hierarchy of general assembly, synod, presbytery and kirk sessions attended by ministers and elders of equal rank. Presbyterianism flourished in the 17th and early 18th centuries but in the later 18th century many Presbyterian churches adopted Unitarianism.
The NIFHS library holds transcriptions of the Baptism Registers (1819-1918) and Marriage Registers (1819-1845). A look-up service is available for NIFHS members.
