St. Peter's Church - Greenock

 

In 1850 a Congregation was formed in the township of Greenock and a church was built.

With little participation from the congregation the church was eventually sold to the Roman Catholics in the 1860’s.

It was later demolished.

In 1897 eleven families tried to establish another congregation.

After having a lot of trouble trying to find a suitable place to build or buy a church they began to hold their worships in the Daveyston School.

The congregation then worshipped in the Methodist church in Greenock between 1898 and 1900.

The current church was finished construction on the 22nd of April, 1900.

From 1897 to 1953 the Pastor was J.H.S Heidenreich.

He then introduced the English service in 1919.
