Our group of churches serves a friendly community of Christians living in the Lecale area and is part of the Lecale Area Mission Partnership (LAMP). Our worship reflects our rural community which is both warm and traditional. We love welcoming visitors and newcomers to this area where we enjoy excellent cross–community relations. Down Cathedral and Saul are also places which welcome thousands of visitors annually. In both churches we are re–discovering what it means to be a place of pilgrimage and paryer, as we seek to offer support to those who value our Celtic Christian heritage.
