Hillsborough Parish Church

Church Of Ireland in Hillsborough, Co. Down, Northern Ireland.

The Parish Church of St Malachy was built in 1663 and restored in the 18th century by Wills Hill, the first Marquis of Downshire. The church stands on the summit of a gentle slope in the centre of the village some 300 yards from the main street. The two entrance gates, each with 18th century stone-built lodges, sit either side of the screen through which can be seen the lawn leading to the church.

The church today is essentially the same as it was when Wills Hill completed his work of enlargement and restoration before being opened for public worship in 1773. As with any building of considerable age, areas of the church and grounds have been modernised over time, reflecting the progressive development of the way people have sought to meet together and worship God.

Jenny Williams will lead our Worship Service, and Matt Flenley will continue our series in Exodus.

✨ WHO is GOD? ✨

This Sunday at 10:30am, Josh Thornbury will lead and speak as we continue our series in Exodus. In Exodus 3, we see God enter the scene, speak, call, and reveal who He is. We’ll be thinking about God’s Presence, God’s Provision, and God’s Power, and how it all points us to Christ.
