Lowe Memorial is a vibrant Church in Finaghy, South Belfast. Lowe Memorial is a community church which means we are based in the local community with a desire to make know the claims of Jesus and to serve all people regardless of background. We belong to the Presbyterian Church in Ireland which is a denomination born out of revival in the 1620 –1640s in Ireland.

Finaghy is a suburban area of South Belfast, grouped around a crossroads on the Lisburn Road which runs west out of Belfast city. In the early 1900s, it was a quiet area of countryside but population movement led to housing development from the 1920s. The congregation began in the 1920s with a small number of people meeting in a sitting room over a shop on a Sunday afternoon. Numbers grew - a temporary hall was erected to accommodate them and by 1935 the present church building was opened.

There are presently 450 families connected to the congregation, and a wide range of activities (Boys' Brigade, Girls' Brigade, Scouts, Bowls, Study Groups etc. ) is provided in the extensive complex of halls and rooms. The congregation faces the challenge of changing demographically with hope and vigour.

The Sunday Services have developed varying styles - 10. 00am is a traditional service; 11. 30am is the family service with a blend of the traditional and contemporary; at 7. 00pm topical themes are often explored and a monthly prayer and ministry service is exercised.
