About Us


IMG 7488


We are a group of followers of Jesus from Holywood and the surrounding area. Our church family consists of people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds. We want to bring glory to God, to help one another grow in our Christian faith, to reach out in God’s love to those in Holywood and beyond and ultimately to see many from all backgrounds become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
 
Our main service takes place at 10.30 each Sunday morning and everyone is warmly invited to join with us. We seek to worship God in a manner which is both contemporary and reverent and place great importance on clear Biblical teaching.
 
Children are very welcome in all our services, and crèche facilities are available for babies and toddlers. Pre-school and primary school children join us for the first part of the service before leaving for Junior Church.
 
Prayer ministry is available at the end of each service, as well as an opportunity to meet informally over a cup of tea or coffee.
 
Information about all the activities of the church can be found elsewhere on the website along with contact details if you would like to get in touch with us. We would love to welcome you!
