Taking care

creating a safe environment for children, young people and leaders

The presbyterian Church in Ireland has a Child Protection programme called 'Taking Care'. Our aim is to create a safe environment for children, yound people and leaders.

A Brief History

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.

Vision Statement

Our Vision is to do what must be done in order to reach the whole community for Christ by becoming:
