The average congregation in Greyabbey numbers 45 on a Sunday morning, with the numbers rising for the monthly family service. The worship of the church is conducted using the contemporary language series of the BCP. The congregation share a weekly Bible Study, and a Wednesday morning, with Holy Trinity Kircubbin, and also an evening Prayer and Study Group at Holy Trinity. Greyabbey Parish is looking to build a new hall close to the church.
Holy Trinity is a small but vibrant church community, with an active Sunday School which meets in the Church room below the worship area. Together with St. Saviours, the church runs a Prayer and Study Group, a Bible Study and a small but enthusiastic choir. The services are currently contemporary language Prayer Book services, together with a monthly family service (Service of the Word).
The Parish centre is in the grounds of St. James’, Ballyphilip Church.
There is a variety of cross community groups including a Mum’s and Toddler Group, Bowling club, exercise classes and the integrated Primary School use the Parish Centre for weekly activities. The Parish Mother’s Union and Historical Society also use this facility. Additionally, there is a variety of events involving all the local Churches.
St. Saviour’s is situated on the Ballywalter Road on the outskirts of Grey Abbey.
Holy Trinity is at the Portaferry end of Kircubbin High Street, set back from the road behind iron railings.
