Dallas Free Church Dallas Free Church was formed from the Disruption of 1843, with part of the congregation joining the Free Church. Minister was settled in August 1844. Church was built in 1845 and rebuilt 1870. In 1848 membership was at 102 by 1900 it was 55, drop in numbers was due to a decrease in parish population (Ewing 1914). In 1900 the minister and the congregation joined the United Free Church as Dallas High, and re-joined with the Church of Scotland in 1952.
