The Brethren family of churches carries a long and particular story within the wider Church. The Brethren movement began in Dublin and Plymouth in the late 1820s as a search for simple New Testament church life without ordained clergy. Open Brethren assemblies, often known as Gospel Halls or evangelical churches, break bread weekly and are led by local elders. Several hundred assemblies meet across the UK. The tradition traces its modern form to Late 1820s.
It is one of many congregations found across Northern Ireland, home to Presbyterian, Church of Ireland, Catholic and Methodist congregations in nearly every town. Belfast is the county town of County Antrim and a focal point for church life in the area. Visitors are welcome, whether you live in Belfast or are simply passing through.
Thinking of coming along? Simply turn up: no invitation is needed. Allow a little extra time for getting there, as parking close to older church buildings can be tight, and if accessibility is a concern, a quick call ahead will confirm arrangements such as ramps, accessible toilets or a hearing loop.
