About Us
The Present
Our families are representative of many professions and there is a wide age range of church members. Sunday School is well attended at Bright Hall and is supplemented by our Family Services each 1st Sunday. There is also a small Sunday School at Rathmullan. The choir, the Mother’s Union, and the Rathmullan and Tyrella Women’s Fellowship are popular, and young people join with those of Downpatrick and Lecale for activities together.
Visitors are always welcome. Please phone first to confirm times and locations of services.
The Future
By placing emphasis upon our children’s and youth work we are hoping and praying that our congregations will grow.
Hopes for the future are: to continue to promote the Christian faith amongst the parishioners; to encourage further interest in the work of Mission throughout the world; and to see growth in the Kingdom of God in the midst of all people by word and deed.
The life of our churches will continue to be Praise, Prayer and Proclamation of God’s Word.
