Visitor FAQ

 

Q) When are your services?

Q) Where are you located?

Q) Where can I park my car?
A) Although we have a car park, it has a very limited capacity. If you are unable to find a space, you can park in various car parks near the church or along the roadside where suitable. Alongside the Linen Museum is an example. Other popular locations used by our members include: the Library car park behind the church (until 1:00pm due to clamping measures), Smithfield Square, or Laganbank Road car park. There is an informative website about the location of Lisburn car parks here.

Q) What can First Lisburn offer me?
A) First Lisburn is a vibrant congregation with many organisations, and there is something for everybody. For a full list of organisations, please visit the “Organisations” tab of the church website.

Q) What do you have for young children?
A) After the first hymn and welcome, there is a Children’s Address. At this point, children are invited to go to the front of the church – sitting on the front pew or on the floor – where they listen to the children’s talk led by the minister. This is usually a story or other activity sometimes accompanied by videos and pictures relating to what they will go on to look at in Sunday School. The congregation then sing a children’s hymn, after which the children leave for Sunday School. All children are invited to come along, and new or visiting children will get an especially warm welcome! There are also separate classes for 1st – 3rd year (Yr 8 – Yr 10) each week which provide a more relaxed environment to accomodate the needs of young folk today.
