Our History

Our History

First Presbyterian Church, Ahoghill

Little is known about Presbyterians in Ahoghill until October 1654 when a group of Presbyterians were supplied with sermons from Antrim where Presbyterian ministers, who came across from Scotland, had been working for periods of six months at a time.   The people of Ahoghill then sought permission to elect elders and this was carried out in 1657.  Their first minister, Mr John Shaw from Scotland, was called and ordained on the 30th June 1658.


First Presbyterian Church Ahoghill was established – the small group of people had organised themselves into a congregation, elders were elected and a minister was installed. This young congregation in Ahoghill began to grow in size and presumably built their own meeting house for worship. As the people in 1658 were poor and living in houses built with mud walls and thatch roofs, it is to be expected that their meeting house would also be made in like fashion.
