The Congregation was in the process of formation by 1755, the first Minister Rev. John Craig was ordained to the joint congregations of Coroneary and Cootehill in 1764, the Meeting House having been built prior to this.In 1791 the current Church was built on the site of the old Meeting House.

The congregation consists of 29 families, with 70 persons of all ages connected to the Church, mainly from a farming background.At special times such as Christmas, Easter, Harvest Thanksgivings, and when a fifth Sunday occurs in the month Coroneary joins with the other two Churches in the group Trinity Bailieborough, and 1st.

Most of the activities outside Sunday Worship are with the other congregations in our group.
