Killead Church is part of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. We organise ourselves and our practices in agreement with the Presbyterian model. Presbyterian means that our church is governed by a group of Elders (called a Kirk Session), made up of individuals who seek to oversee all the spiritual matters of the congregation. All of the Presbyterian churches in Ireland is then a member of a local grouping called a Presbytery, of which we are part of the Templepatrick Presbytery). Each Presbytery is then represented on the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, which is situated in Belfast (Assembly Buildings on Fisherwick Place). Within the Assembly, the local churches can unite and agree on various matters and therefore present a united stand. The purpose of this church is to glorify God; both as individuals and as a Covenant family. Our church seeks to do this through the meeting of public worship, preaching and teaching from the Scriptures, discipling to encourage Christian living, and to reach out with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As every organisation has a standard or ‘code of conduct’, we too, as a Christian church, have a single authority in matters of faith and practice – the Word of God, the Bible. The Bible speaks to every aspect of our lives, but here is what we teach as the foundations of our faith:
