Symon Loccard, a local landowner who owned land in both Ayrshire and Lanarkshire, founded the original church in Symington in 1160AD.  It is understood that the village and parish derived its name (originally "Symonstown") from him.  The church building has undergone a range of alterations over the centuries and various practical changes have also taken place in recent times to accommodate the modern day challenges faced by the National Church.  For many years the church was part of a linked-charge with Craigie Parish Church near Kilmarnock but in May 2014, Craigie Parish Church was closed, dissolving the linkage.  A Service of Union followed later that month which resulted in the emergence of Craigie Symington Parish Church.  A further change occurred in November 2015 when a Service of Linkage took place linking Craigie Symington Parish Church with Prestwick South Parish Church resulting in the two congregations sharing a Minister and a Manse.

A more detailed history of the church may be found in the History section.
