The Scotch Street Congregational Church was opened in 1874, but for nearly 80 years previously, Congregationalists had worshipped in Providence Chapel, Duke Street. This Chapel was first opened in December 1793 and was used originally by a congregation of Lady Huntingdon's connexion, but in 1819 it was taken over by a body of Congregationalists who had worshipped with Presbyterians in the James Street Chapel ever since it had been built in 1695 for the use of both denominations. The Scotch Street Church was closed on 31 August 1969 upon union of the Congregational and Presbyterian congregations. Parton Congregational Church was built about 1861 and maintained a separate pastor until 1941.
