The congregation was founded in 1777 and originally known as the Ballyhalbert Presbyterian Church.
The Presbyterian church was influenced by Calvinism which rejected bishops and believed that the church should be governed by a hierarchy of general assembly, synod, presbytery and kirk sessions attended by ministers and elders of equal rank. Presbyterianism flourished in the 17th and early 18th centuries but in the later 18th century many Presbyterian churches adopted Unitarianism.
The graveyard inscriptions for this church have been transcribed and published by the Ulster Historical Foundation in Volume 15 of its Gravestone Inscription Series.
It is located at NW7434215554 (Lat/Lon 54.484995, -5.485282). You can see this on maps provided by:
