We are an evangelical church family in the village of Ballygowan, in between Belfast and Newtonards.
We are a member of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. As a family friendly church in the heart of Ballygowan we want to reach out to those within our congregation and in the local community and share with them the love of Jesus. No matter what your age or background we want you to feel at home with us.
For the Glory of God, Ballygowan Presbyterian Church desires to see the making and maturing of disciples of Jesus Christ - this through worship, fellowship, service and evangelism.
Built in 1838 as a Trinitarian" Presbyterian Church. At this time the 'Old Light' versus 'New Light' debate was at its height. The Church, originally on the outskirts of the village, now occupies a central position as it has become surrounded by the recent village expansion.
Our church halls were originally erected as an orphanage in 1886 then used as the village primary school until 1980's when the new Alexander Dickson Primary School was built.
