About us

Kilkinamurry Presbyterian Church was established in 1821. We are a small rural congregation of some 60 families located in the rolling drumlins of south County Down just a couple of miles outside Katesbridge.

Since 1937 we have enjoyed a close and harmonious union with our sister congregation of Drumgooland just a few miles away in the townland of Closkelt.

What characterises our congregation?

We are a gospel centred church – where the Good News of Jesus Christ and his death and resurrection for sinners is proclaimed. We aim to see people of all ages come to know Jesus Christ and make him known.
We are a family church where everybody, from the youngest to the oldest are welcome and can feel at home.
We seek to be a community church. We are part of the community and we seek to reach out and serve the members of the community. Everyone is welcome to our services and activities.
We like to think that our church is a friendly church. We would like to assure you that you will receive a warm welcome at any of our services and organisations. We’ll be delighted to see you.

We have many activities for people of all ages, including Sunday School, Mums & Tots, BB & GB, Bowling Club, and Youth Club. Many of our activities are combined with our sister congregation of Drumgooland.

If you are interested in finding out more about our church or if we can be of any assistance then please reach out.

Organisations

Sunday School

All children from P1 to P7 are warmly welcomed each Sunday from 11.30am to 12.30pm, meeting in the Church hall from the beginning of September. We are using the Answers in Genesis apologetics-based Sunday school curriculum, called Answers Bible Curriculum. This consists of chronological teaching through the whole Bible and aims to equip our children to know, obey and defend God’s Word and to share the gospel. We also memorise scripture, do fun activities and sing songs that relate to the lessons.

Bible Class All young people from Year 8 and above are warmly welcomed each Sunday from 11.30am to 12.30pm, meeting in our comfortable Extension Room from the beginning of September. We start with tea and biscuits then spend time learning from the Answers Bible Curriculum as above.

Throughout the year, the children and young people take part in our Christmas Carol Service and lead our Children’s Day Service.

We also enjoy a fun night out during the year for all the family.
