Passion for Christ. Compassion for People.
First Portadown Presbyterian Church is a member of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
We have been serving the community and seeking to make Christ known in the Edenderry area of Portadown since 1822.
We are a diverse Church, made up of many ages and backgrounds, yet we are united in our love and need for Jesus and our desire to share the good news of his heart-transforming, life-giving Gospel with those who do not yet know him.
What we Believe
The Bible
It is originally given, without error, the fully inspired and infallible word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
The Trinity
The Godhead exists coequally and coeternally in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit and these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.
Mankind
We believe in the universal sinfulness of mankind since the fall rendering them subject to God’s judgement.
The Ministry
We believe in the ministries God has set in His church including evangelists, pastors and teachers.
The Saviour
The Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and was born of the virgin Mary, was completely sinless, taught authoritatively, died as our substitution and atonement, was resurrected and ascended to heaven.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has been given to guide believers into all truth and empower them to work the works of God and be His witnesses.
Salvation
We believe in the universal sinfulness of mankind since the fall rendering them subject to God’s judgement.
The Commission
The Gospel answers the needs of the whole man and believers are commissioned to preach the Gospel to the whole world.
