STAYING CONNECTED
These are unprecedented, challenging and worrying times, but not outside the sovereignty of a God we can trust nor the scope of neighbours we can love. We've created this section on our website to collate various pieces of information and resources for this time. We trust it will be useful to you.

From Sunday 2nd August 2020
Pastoral Care
We are heartened to see so many reaching out to help others in these difficult times. Elders have been contacting members of the congregation by phone where possible, and have been organising help and assistance for those in need. We know the same is true of many of you - the unseen network of love and support is at work as always. Please continue to take whatever opportunity is available to you to help others in a way that is safe and that adheres to government guidelines.
Most 1st Antrim people know (or know someone who knows!) how to get in contact with the minister; don't hesitate in keeping him up to date with pastoral care issues.

WELCOME TO FIRST ANTRIM PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHFirst Antrim is made up of a mix of imperfect people following a perfect Saviour - Jesus Christ. We recognise that ‘life to the full’ can only be found in Jesus.
Together, we work to be His followers and to share this full life, by making more followers. Everybody is welcome to First Antrim. Please take some time to browse through the site and familiarise yourself with all that is going on. VERSE OF the Week :2 Chronicles 7:14 “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
