Immanuel

Immanuel Presbyterian Church is situated in Agnes Street the Shankill area of Belfast. Agnes Street joins the Shankill Road and the Crumlin Road. The congregation was born in 1971 out of a union of Agnes Street and Bethany congregations, a further union took place in 2007 when Immanuel and Oldpark congregations amalgamated.

The congregation seeks by many means to reach into the surrounding district and lead young and old to the Lord Jesus.

Due to structural problems with the old church building a new meeting house was opened in 2008 and as been a source of great encouragement and hope to us all.

The members of the church are a warm hearted people, friendly and committed to Christ. With new housing in the area the potential for growth is enormous.

At present (2009) there are 245 families attached to the congregation. Worship is at 11.30am and 7pm each Sunday. On Wednesday evening there is a meeting for Bible study and prayer.

There are many other activities during the week. There is Boys' Brigade, Girls' Brigade, Youth Fellowship, Mother & Toddler group and Christian Endeavour Societies. The first Christian Endeavour Society in Ireland was started in 1889 in Agnes Street Congregation.

We welcome visitors and pray that those who come find friendship and a spiritual home.
