The Pollokshields congregation was established in 1875, with worship taking place in the church hall, which was opened on 10 October 1875.

It was only on 19 May 1877 that the foundation stone was laid by Sir William Stirling Maxwell, Chancellor of the University of Glasgow.

The interior has aisle arcades formed by polished granite columns on high octagonal sandstone bases with French Gothic capitals supporting pointed arches beneath the clerestory windows and the high scissor braced roof trusses.

A brass lectern with an eagle mounted on a ball swivel, was also dedicated on 24 December.

A War Memorial honouring the 34 men connected to the church who had died during WWI, was unveiled on 30 October 1921.
