The
history of Presbyterianism in Ireland can be traced back to 1613.
The first Non-Subscribing Presbytery was formed in 1725 and our
most notable historical leader, Dr. Henry Montgomery (pictured left),
took a leading part in the controversy in the 1820's that led
to the formation of the Non-Subscribing Remonstrant Synod of Ulster.
Our Church refuses to impose compulsory subscription to any man-made
creeds in respect of a person's Christian faith. Our ethos is 'faith
guided by reason and conscience' and we advocate liberal and tolerant
Christianity.

Annual Sunday School Games 2018
The re-arranged date for this year’s Sunday School Games will take place on Saturday 28th April and as last year will be held in Trinity Methodist Centre, Knockmore Road, Lisburn (If you need directions please contact Adele Johnston). The event will start at 1.30pm and should finish by 4.30pm. There will be the usual games, quizzes and other activities for the children and young people to take part in, and this year we are delighted to welcome Joe from “The Gathering Drum” who is going to be encouraging everyone to make lots of noise by taking part in a drum circle which promises to be lots of fun!
Everyone is asked to bring a picnic – tea, coffee and juice will be provided.
We would encourage your children and young people to attend - we hope as many Sunday Schools as possible will support this event.
Adele Johnston would be grateful if you could give an idea of numbers attending by contacting her at 0784 605 7179 before Saturday 28th April.
