Everyone is welcome at Ballylinney. Whether you have been to Ballylinney before or are coming for the first time, you are welcome. Whether you are from a religious or non-religious background, you are welcome. The Gospel is a message of total equality, before God we are all sinners, we all must come in repentance and faith to Jesus Christ the Saviour.

We gather together to publically worship God and encourage one another to keep fixed on the Lord Jesus. On arrival at Ballylinney you will be warmly welcomed at the front door and a steward will offer to show you to a seat. Normally we stand to sing Biblical praise songs, we sit to pray and sit when the Bible is read and explained.

Every Sunday morning we meet at 11am. On the first Sunday in a month we also meet at 6:30pm. 

Our church services normally last just over an hour. We know that many people have responsibilities on a Sunday so if you are running late or have to leave early please do not let that put you off joining us. Come when you can and leave when you have to.

You can find us at 27 Ballylinney Rd, Ballyclare, County Antrim, BT39 9PB

We have a two car parks beside our church: one directly opposite the church front door; the other adjacent to our church hall. Both car parks are paved and there are a number of designated disabled spaces.

There is no dress code at Ballylinney. You will find us a welcoming, friendly church, just come as you are.

We love children at Ballylinney; we will be delighted to have you and all your family join us.
