'''History—'''<br>The congregation originated in 1733 when the minister, Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, one of the four founders of the Secession Church, seceded from the Established church, followed by eleven elders and many parishioners. Other seceders from neighboring parishes joined them. They continued to meet in the parish church until they were forcefully ejected in 1740. They built themselves a church shortly after, and a new church was built in 1826. At the Breach in 1747, Rev. Erskine and the majority of the congregation adhered to the Associate Burgher Synod. The congregation became United Secession in 1820 and United Presbyterian in 1847. The church was called the First Congregation of Stirling until 1869 when it took the name of John Street church. In 1862 it became Erskine Church, John Street. This was always a large congregation. <br>'''Source:''' ''Annals and Statistics of the United Presbyterian Church'', by Rev.
