The foundation stone for the new Falkirk Town Mission was laid on 10th September 1898. Amazingly, almost all of the money for it, about £1600, was raised at a grand bazaar in the Town Hall that year.

The original plans by Alexander Gauld were modified when the mission was given a bell from Falkirk Steeple – the tower was provided with a louvred belfry instead of a dome. The church has a horseshoe balcony, reached by a stair in the tower. A library (now a crèche) and meeting rooms were placed to the front of the building.

The Town Mission closed its doors for the last time in March 1985. On 12^th December 1986 they re-opened as the Struther’s Memorial Church and remain so to this day.
