Nonconformist Church Records
General Statement: John Glas, minister of Tealing, was the founder of the Glasite religion in 1728; however, there was never a Glasite church in Tealing. The Glasites rejected all authority except that of Jesus Christ and his apostles. Due to fact that they were non–missionary, exclusive, and did not believe in an educated ministry, they died out in the late 19th century.

Tealing Free Church
History— The minister of the parish and almost the entire congregation came out in 1843. A church was erected and the manse soon afterwards. The church suffered through the extinction of handloom weaving and the absorption of crofts into large farms. Membership: 1848, 200; 1900, 134. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914. Film #918572. More details may be given in the source.
