Shankill Parish 300th Anniversary

On Friday 12 September 2025, Shankill Parish began a weekend of 300th Anniversary celebrations with a special service in the church building which was temporarily reopened for the occasion. Shankill Parish choir were in fine voice and relished the different acoustics owing to a lack of carpet! Bishop David gave the address, preaching on the necessity of prayer in revival.
