At the encouragement of the Free Church's Presbytery of Edinburgh, McCrie and Roxburgh united on 10 January 1886. McCrie was reduced to the status of a mission station in 1885. The Original Secession Church united with the Free Church in 1852 and the Davie Street congregation adopted the name McCrie Church in 1858 in honour of their first two ministers. At M'Crie's death, the congregation called as minister his son Thomas M'Crie the Younger. The church became the meeting place of the United Original Secession synod. In 1842, Auld Licht Anti-Burghers joined other factions to form the United Original Secession Church at a meeting in the Davie Street meeting-house. In 1827, a faction of Auld Licht Anti-Burghers who opposed the creation of the United Secession Church in 1820 joined the Davie Street congregation. The congregation remained at Potterrow until 1809, after which they met at Carrubber's Close in the Old Town before moving to a purpose-built meeting house on the corner of Davie Street and West Richmond Street in the Southside in May 1813. McCrie Church began in 1806, when Thomas M'Crie the Elder, minister of Potterrow Anti-Burgher Secession Church withdrew, along with most of his congregation, from that denomination in opposition the moderate New Lichts who were then in ascendancy. Since 2018, the congregation has been engagd in the planning process to add an extension to the building. The interior was recast in 1886 by George Washington Browne and refurbished in 1981. The church is a simple Neoclassical building of 1813. The united congregation retained the McCrie-Roxburgh buildings as mission halls before selling them to the Apostolic Church in 1930. In 1900, the congregation joined the United Free Church and, in 1920, the congregation united with Newington United Free Church. In 1886, they united with Roxburgh Free Church to form McCrie-Roxburgh Free Church.
In 1852, the United Original Secession joined the Free Church and six years later adopted the name McCrie Free Church. The Auld Licht Ant-Burghers joined other factions to form the United Original Secession Church at a meeting in the building in 1842. After M'Crie's death in 1835, the congregation called as its minister Thomas M'Crie the Younger. The building's first congregation was founded in 1806, when Thomas M'Crie the Elder, a leading Auld-Licht or conservative withdrew from the Anti-Burgher Secession Church. The church's building was constructed for a congregation of Auld Licht Anti-Burghers in 1813. Life Church is a congregation of the Apostolic Church located in the Southside, Edinburgh, Scotland.
