Malahide Presbyterian Church
|
The church in Malahide grew out of a concern of members of Howth Presbyterian Church to establish a daughter church in the village. For some years, a small group met in a house, until in 1956, thanks to a gift of land from the Kirker family, they were able to move to their own building on the Dublin Road. This was the first Presbyterian Church to be built in the Irish Republic after independence.
Malahide church now forms one half of the congregation of Howth and Malahide, which has two buildings, but one Kirk Session and Committee - an unusual (if not unique) arrangement within PCI! The church family seeks to live for Christ is this fast-growing and thriving community, which has managed to retain much of the friendly 'village' feel. Real warmth and a sense of optimism marks the life of the church, which is looking ahead to the future with confidence and hope. Email: gmillar@presbyterianireland.org |

Howth Presbyterian ChurchThe church in Howth was established to meet the needs of Scottish fishermen in the last century, and continues to serve the 8,000 people of the Howth Peninsula today. Howth is a bustling fishing/ yachting community, which is a popular stop for tourists at the end of the DART. Early this century, the congregation planted a church in nearby Malahide, which met in a house until the building was constructed in 1956. Around 16,000 people now live in this rapidly growing and picturesque village, and the church seeks to be a an authentic witness to the Lord Jesus Christ in the community. Visitors can be assured of a warm welcome in both places! Minister: Rev. Gary Millar Telephone: (00 353) 01 8323198Email: gmillar@presbyterianireland.org |
