Welcome
Eglinton
Presbyterian Church was established in its present position
in November 1938, when the then Eglinton Street congregation
moved from Carlisle Circus to the Carrs Glen area of North Belfast.
In 1968 the Ballysillan Road site was developed to include additional
ancilliary halls and a new building to house worship on Sunday.
The suite of buildings occupy a prominent position beside the
Boys Model School, opposite the Carrs Glen bus terminus.
Worship
Each
Sunday, services are held at 11.00 a.m. and 7.00 p.m.
In the morning we meet in the main church building, and in the
evening, when numbers are smaller in one of the church halls.
Occasional evening services are also held in the main church
building.
Evening services are less formal than in the morning and are
followed by a cup of tea or coffee and a chance for a chat.
An induction Loop (AFILS) is provided in the main church building
for the benefit of Hearing Aid Users.
Communion
Communion services are held on eight occasions during the year:
at morning service on the first Sunday of January, April and
October and the last Sunday morning in June.
at evening service on the second Sunday of February, May, September
and the third Sunday evening in November.
Baptism
Baptism in the Presbyterian Church is offered to those who profess
their faith in Christ and the infant children of those who profess
such faith. There will be preparation prior to Baptism.
Marriage
If you are considering getting married in Eglinton please ensure
you get in touch with the minister before making any "Wedding
Day" plans.
Creche
A creche for pre-school age children is available during the
morning service. 
Praise
The praise is led by various combinations of organist, choir
and praise group (band and vocals). Willing and able singers
and musicians are always welcome to use their gifts in the service
of God! 
Transport
A minibus is available to transport you to and from the morning
service, if you would not otherwise be able to attend.
Membership
Communicant (or full) membership of the church is for those
who publicly profess their faith in Jesus Christ . For those
coming to the Lord's Table for the first time, a series of preparation
classes are held.
