We have limited car parking available, both within the Church and McCleery Hall grounds. Therefore, we would ask that where possible car parking spaces are left for those that require close access to the church, McCleery Hall or graveyard. Further car parking is available in the public carpark at the Glenburn Road/Kingsway junction.
First Dunmurry NSPCI is located on Glebe Road, off Kingsway in Dunmurry Village. The McCleery Hall is situated beside our Church, and can be accessed via the driveway situated beside the railway crossing. Our Church is accessible by bus, train and is only a short distance from the M1 motorway.
Non Subscribing means that we do not insist on conformity of opinion about matters of faith. Literally, we do not ‘subscribe’, or sign up, to any creed or confession, specifically, we do not require subscription to the Westminster Confession of Faith. No creedal statement is made during our services.
This does not mean that members of the denomination are not permitted to sign up to confessions of faith or to adhere to the Apostles’ or any other Creed. It simply means that we do not insist on this. We believe that everyone has the right to interpret the scriptures and to exercise personal judgement.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the Church.
Our Sunday service starts at 11.30am and finishes by 12.30pm.
Each week our Sunday Service (excluding special services), opens with a welcome, weekly announcements and opening words from our Minister. The service, incorporates four hymns, prayers, readings from scripture, a children’s story and sermon. The Minister then closes the service with a benediction following the final hymn.
Yes, everyone is welcome to join us and if you have any questions before your visit please contact us.
Our Minister can be contacted directly using the contact us section.
At First Dunmurry NSPCI we take communion twice a year, usually in May and November where we have an open Communion table and freely welcome you to join us. Our congregation continues the old Presbyterian custom at the Communion Service of going out into the pews to sit along linen covered tables in the aisles. Communion is lead by our minister and church elders, inviting the congregation to take part in the Lord’s supper. Please note this practice has been changed temporarily to comply with COVID-19 regulations.
Sunday School and the Dunmurry Youth Group is open to all children and young people and runs from 11.45am-12.30pm, each week from September through to June. The children and young people join in the weekly Sunday Service for the first 15 minutes, which includes a Children’s Address from the Minister and a Children’s hymn before heading over to the Sunday School Room, which is in The McCleery Hall.
