Our community mission…

About Us

We are a community of followers of Jesus scattered across North Down and Ards who gather in Ballygrainey to love, serve, and share Jesus Christ. We’re ordinary people who seek to live for Jesus in our everyday lives and bring His love in word and action to everyone we meet.

Following Jesus is for everyone, everyday, everywhere, whatever we are doing. Our family, friends, school, work, sport, art, online, all of life matters to him.

Our congregation is part of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.

About Jesus

“There must be more to life than this?”

We’ve all asked this question at one time or another.

The Bible tells us that Jesus is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life” John 14:6, the person we trust to bring us to God, and the one who gives us “life in all its fullness” John 10:10. If you’ve thought that Jesus only accepts good religious people, think again. The Bible says, “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Find out more by coming along on Sunday, or read about Jesus yourself in the Bible (the book of Mark is a great place to start), or by visiting Christianity Explored.
