Lowe Presbyterian Church, Finaghy is a vibrant community of people with a desire to make know the claims of Jesus and to serve all people regardless of background. We belong to the Presbyterian Church in Ireland which is a denomination born out of revival in the 1620 –1640s in Ireland. Finaghy is a suburban area of South Belfast, grouped around a crossroads on the Lisburn Road which runs west out of Belfast city. In the early 1900s, it was a quiet area of countryside but population movement led to housing development from the 1920s. The congregation began in the 1920s with a small number of people meeting in a sitting room over a shop on a Sunday afternoon. There are presently 450 families connected to the congregation, and a wide range of activities (Boys' Brigade, Girls' Brigade, Scouts, Bowls, Study Groups etc.) is provided in the extensive complex of halls and rooms. The congregation faces the challenge of changing demographically with hope and vigour. The Sunday Services have developed varying styles 11am service has a a blend of the traditional and contemporary; at 7.00pm topical themes are often explored and a monthly prayer and ministry service is exercised.
