First Presbyterian

First Killyleagh dates back to 1622 when the first Minister of the congregation, the Rev John Bole came to Killyleagh. For nearly 400 years it's members have come together to worship God and witness for Jesus Christ.

In First Killyleagh we seek to be:

• A place where the living god is worshipped with joy and love.
• A place where the Good News of Jesus Christ is proclaimed simply, understood clearly, and expressed naturally in changed lives.
• A place where the family of believers in Christ learn together to be the people of God in our community.
• A Christian family committed to the ministry and mission of Jesus Christ today as expressed through the life and witness of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland at home and overseas.
