Finaghy is a suburban area of South Belfast, grouped around a crossroads on the Lisburn Road which runs west out of Belfast city. In the early 1900s, it was a quiet area of countryside but population movement led to housing development from the 1920s. The congregation began in the 1920s with a small number of people meeting in a sitting room over a shop on a Sunday afternoon. Numbers grew - a temporary hall was erected to accommodate them and by 1935 the present church building was opened.

There are presently 450 families connected to the congregation, and a wide range of activities (Boys' Brigade, Girls' Brigade, Scouts, Bowls, Study Groups etc.) is provided in the extensive complex of halls and rooms. The congregation faces the challenge of changing demographically with hope and vigour.

The Sunday Services have developed varying styles - 10.00am is a traditional service; 11.30am is the family service with a blend of the traditional and contemporary; at 7.00pm topical themes are often explored and a monthly prayer and ministry service is exercised.
