August 1897

The foundation stone was laid for a church to seat 800 and a hall to seat 400 with the name "The Crown Church".

November 1897

Completion of Hall Buildings comprising a hall with a pulpit platform on its west wall and a vaulted ceiling and the Session Room to the rear of the platform.

Nov 1900

The Memorial Stone for the church was laid.

Nov 1901

The church building was completed but without the spire included in the drawings. It was considered that the additional cost of £1000 to add the spire was too great.

1914

Electricity was installed in the church by the North of Scotland Light and Power Company at a cost of £66.

1923

A three-manual organ was purchased from Taymouth Castle to replace the original organ. 

1958

The organ was overhauled and the chancel area refurbished and enlarged. The rose window previously obscured by the organ pipes was cleared, the chancel area carpeted and fixed choir stalls constructed.

1964

The hall accommodation was extended with the addition of an upper hall, a new kitchen and toilets. The Session Room was remodelled to provide a second Small Hall and a kitchen. The project was financed by donations from the congregation.

1981

A further extension to the halls was made by adding a new wing providing the current lounge for small meetings and prayers and the church office.

1987

It was decided to replace the Taymouth Castle organ with an electronic organ manufactured by Messrs Makin. The fixed choir stalls were replaced with chairs and new carpets provided for the chancel and aisles.

1996

A church office was built at the manse at 39 Southside Road, in an extension including a study for the minister.  The office has since been moved back to the church buildings.

2001

The downstairs kitchen and toilets were replaced.  There is now better disabled access to both the church and lower halls.
