Worshipers have been gathering at the West Kirk since the 1700s, with the striking historic building - on the banks of the Leven - now set to hit the market.
Dumbarton ’s West Kirk is set to be sold, as the congregation merges with St Andrew’s and Riverside to form a new Dumbarton Parish Church.
Worshipers have been gathering at the West Kirk since the 1700s, with the striking historic building - on the banks of the Leven - now set to be sold. A spokeswoman said: “As part of a carefully planned four-year process, the congregations of Dumbarton West, St Andrew’s and Riverside have formed a union to become Dumbarton Parish Church. The newly formed congregation will retain the former Riverside Parish Church for Sunday worship and the current Dumbarton West building will be placed on the market in due course.
“Proceeds from the future sale of Dumbarton West will be retained by the new congregation and will help support their future missional work within the community.
