Rosemary, Belfast

Rosemary Presbyterian Church is situated in North Belfast in a constantly changing mixed community of Protestants, Roman Catholics and members of the Jewish community.

The congregation's history goes back to 1723; the present congregation being a union of Ekenhead and Rosemary Street congregations which moved from city centre locations in 1929 and 1941 respectively. The present congregation takes its name from Rosemary Street. The building there was destroyed in an air raid in 1941 and the congregation moved at that time rather than rebuild the church in the centre of the city.

The congregation has about 450 families and lives its life through its Sunday worship services and a large range of youth and adult activities which are staffed by a large number of leaders throughout the week. These range from fellowship, prayer and Bible study groups to recreational, social service, youth and missionary organisations. In Sunday worship we use traditional and contemporary hymns and songs with a "multimedia" influence.

Rosemary Church is involved in interchurch activities with local Anglican, Roman Catholic and Methodist congregations, and regularly welcomes visitors from many different backgrounds and many countries.
