WHO WE
ARE
First and Second Markethill
Presbyterian Church is one
congregation within the wider
Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
The word Presbyterian derives from the
word for Elders, and describes our system of Church government,
where each congregation has democratically elected leaders, or
elders.
The Presbyterian Church holds that "the
Word of God as set forth in the Scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments is the only infallible rule of faith and practice, and
the supreme standard of the Church". That may seem complicated
but what it means in practice is that our authority as a church
resides in the Bible in which God has spoken and through which He
still speaks. It was this conviction which shapes our life together
at First and Second Markethill Presbyterian Church and hence as a
church we are committed to teaching the Bible systematically and
clearly week by week.
