Our church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. The Presbyterian Church in Ireland serves the whole island, both North and South and, with a total membership of some 300,000 people in over 560 congregations, it is the largest protestant denomination in Northern Ireland.
The Presbyterian form of Christian faith is best described as 'Reformed' with its strong emphasis on the Sovereignty of God, the Kingship of Christ and the authority of the Bible. As a congregation we are committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in word and deed, with everyone. We believe that the Gospel is Christ-centred, grace-filled and life-transforming.
If you are not presently connected with any church, we would invite you to come and worship with us. Sunday Services are at 11:30am and 7:00pm.
A crèche is available during the morning service for pre-primary children, and there is a Children's Church for P1 to P5 children. There are Sunday Schools and a Youth Bible Class at 10:15am each Sunday morning, and our Adult Bible Class meets from 10:30 - 11:00am.
The Mid-Week Fellowship meets on Wednesday at 8:00pm.
