Christ Church Presbyterian, Dundonald
Welcome
Christ Church is a big family, where we seek to love God, care for each other and share that love and care with others. It is hard to show the life of a family in few lines on a website and so we want to invite you to come and see for yourself. For over 50 years we have been welcoming people we would love to see you. Whether you have just moved to Dundonald or have been here a life time, whether you are young or old or somewhere between, whether you are a committed Christian or just curious what it is all about you will be very welcome. If you would like more information, please contact me using any of the ways listed below.

Practical & Pastoral Help
As a big family, a lot of care in Christ Church takes place as we look out for each other. This is Jesus’ plan for his church, as shown by all the ‘one another’ phrases in the New Testament.
As part of this, the minister, elders and pastoral visitors have roles to play in overseeing and providing pastoral care.
You are very welcome to contact Richard at any time if there is anything you would like to talk about.
If you need practical help through these challenging times, you can speak to us in complete confidence and we will do what we can to arrange help. We are able to issue vouchers for Dundonald Foodbank and there may be other ways we can support you as well.
We have pastoral visitors who are available to call with people regularly. If this would be helpful for you, let us know.
If you go into hospital, it is helpful if a family member or friend can let us know as we don’t usually hear directly from the hospital.
Find us
We are located on Millars Lane, just facing the Comber Greenway. The church car park is access via Enler Park West (BT16 2DS).
