Presbyerian Church at Kirkistown, Ballyrashane

Our ancestors would have been living at Ballyrashane when this church was built, but we don't know for sure that they attended this church.  They may have attended church at Ballywatt, Antrim

A Brief History (from the Church's website)
Ballyrashane was formed in 1657 and the first minister was a scotsman, Rev. Robert Hogsyard (1657 - 73). A 'sod church' was build after 1661 at Knockinkerragh and replaced in the early 18th century when a new church was built behind Brookhall. A third church was built at Ballyrashane crossroads in 1824 but this was replaced by the current building in 1846. A memorial tower was added after the First World War.
Rev. Thomas Mullin (1948 - 78) was the author of many books on local and church history. Membership stands today at about 170 families.
