Alexander Cumming Rutherford
|
One of the four ministers responsible for the formation of the Evangelical Union Church. The first Evangelical Union Church in Falkirk was the Bank Street congregation of the Rev Alexander Rutherford, 1843-1847. This congregation had its origins in Erskine Church, Falkirk. In 1843, there was a split in Erskine Church over the Morrisonian doctrine and the majority of the Erskine congregation left with the Rev A C Rutherford to form an independent congregation. The congregation first occupied the original congregational church building in Bank Street which had been used by the Baptists but they soon built a new church in Bank Street and initially took the name Falkirk Congregational Church. However, the congregation soon entered the Evangelical Union and Rev A C Rutherford became Secretary of the Evangelical Union by 1845. Rutherford also started a congregation in Greenock so the Falkirk congregation called Rev A Duncanson as junior pastor with Rutherford still remaining senior pastor. The two ministers disagreed on church government and discipline and split the congregation. Rutherford's faction remained in the Evangelical Union Church, meeting in Cistern Lane, and Rutherford himself became minister at Dundee Evangelical Union Church and later Buckhaven United Presbyterian Church.
