Our history
First Holywood Presbyterian Church has a history dating back to the 17th century. Although the site of the church building has changed several times there has been a Presbyterian witness in the town for 400 years. The attached history gives some idea of how the church has developed and provides a record which reflects the way the congregation has sought to meet the changing needs of its people.

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others..
