The Presbyterian family of churches carries a long and particular story within the wider Church. Beyond the national churches, Britain and Ireland are home to a range of smaller Presbyterian denominations, including the Presbyterian Church of Wales, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church and several Free and Reformed Presbyterian bodies. All share Reformed theology and government by elders rather than bishops. The tradition traces its modern form to the 16th century.
It belongs to the broad community of churches across Northern Ireland, where churchgoing remains woven into everyday life. Belfast is the county town of County Antrim and a focal point for church life in the area. The church forms part of the wider Presbyterian presence across County Antrim.
