1843: The Sunday after the Free Church walked out the beadle and an elder of Denny stood at the Parish Church gate and directed worshippers to a malt barn at Easter Boreland. Worship subsequently continued in a barn at Risk Farm, Dunipace, then in Dunipace Church.
1840s: Church erected. The stones came from Thorndike quarry and were carried free of charge by those members of the congregation with carts.
1870: Church hall built (still there).
1899: As a result of a large donation it was decided to build a new church rather than continue with a plan to renovate the old one. During the work the congregation worshipped in the Mission Hall, the old church having been demolished. The memorial stone was lain on 25th November 1899.
1900: New church opened December in place of the 1843 building. Cost £3000 from plans prepared by James Strang, Falkirk. The design is Gothic. There are two entrances to the church, and a stair to the left of the main entrance leads to the gallery. Over the main entrance is a belfry. Masons Messrs Stewart and Son, Bonnybridge.
