MINISTRIES
SUNDAY
SERVICES
Currently, our services begin at 12noon and last for approximately 1 hour.
They are also live-streamed on YouTube and a link is available from the Home Page on this website or via Facebook.
MINISTRIES
A service at Killead Presbyterian would have songs and hymns led by our choir and worship group. 15/20 minutes after the service begins, the children up to P3 are welcomed to the front for their address and song, then they leave to do their own programme in the Choir Room.
The main focus of our church is God’s Word found in the Bible. A important part of the service is reading from the Bible and having it explained to us so that it will impact every aspect of our lives.
Mid-week Bible Study
Our mid-week Bible Study now takes place on Thursdays in the Church Hall at 8pm and also using the Zoom platform. The details, dates and times of the individual studies can be found under the News section together with the link you will need to access Zoom if you are unable to make it in person.
MESSY
CHURCH
Messy church is an opportunity for families to come together and spend time exploring the bible and building relationships in a relaxed, informal setting
Families move freely around the hall exploring various crafts set around our bible theme followed by a meal together. Messy church is for all ages, not just children and young people (all children must be accompanied by an adult). Families are encouraged to come together and single people are just as welcome. You can follow this link and get a flavour of our Messy Church events in 2021 and 2022. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvqzUVgxszo

HOME
GROUPS
It’s all about sharing life together and deepening our relationship with Jesus in a relaxed environment.
Some call them House Groups, some call them Life Groups, we happen to call them Home Groups. It’s all about sharing life together and deepening our relationship with Jesus in a relaxed environment. All you have to do is pick a venue and a day that suits your lifestyle.
Statistics show that Home Groups are an important part of every vibrant and growing Church in the UK. Attending a Home Group allows you to strengthen your faith, grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ and share fellowship with others.
A typical meeting will begin with a relaxing chat followed by a short study of a section of the Bible. There is always plenty of time for questions and discussion, it’s important to remember that there are no experts, we learn together and we grow in grace together. We then pray together in whichever way each person is most comfortable with and then finish with light refreshments.
You do not have to commit to a full programme, we all lead very busy lives, just come along when time allows.
We would love to see you at any one of these groups but please check the Church Bulletin link to confirm dates and times.
Please use the Contact Us facility for more information.

Every individual and family is important in our congregation of Killead.
Life rarely runs smoothly and everyone has special needs. God can lead you through difficult times or crisis through conversation, prayer, spiritual direction and practical assistance offered by our Minister, Elders and Pastoral Team. During the past year the pastoral care team of Killead have been involved in home and hospital visits providing a listing ear and giving spiritual support.
