Holytown Parish Church
“Serve the Lord with gladness”
Psalm 11:2
The following aims to give you an inkling into the history of Holytown Parish Church. It is also our wish that
we may be able to introduce you to some of the people who, through the years have worshipped here.
This Church has been looking down over the village of Holytown and the surrounding area since 1837 –
three different centuries – but its origins go back to at least 1688. Over the years the village has changed as
well as the lives of the worshippers but in spite of changes all around, two very important things remain
constant – the Gospel message preached within these walls is faithful to the teachings of the Bible and the
witness of the congregation stands firm.
