BELFAST CITY MISSION
1827-2008
Welcome to our home page, please browse our menu bar above and find out who the Missionary is in a particular part of Belfast, the times of services in the various halls, up to date news and prayer requests, Thought for the Week, sermon outlines and forthcoming events etc. If you want to delve into the formation of the Mission back in 1827 to the present day I would recommend the book “Who Cares” by Author Noel Davidson. “Who Cares” is not a typical dry dusty historical account of an Old Mission but a sharp, in focus, look at the beginnings of Urban Mission in Belfast. Noel has translated the written and verbal accounts he has collated in his research of The Belfast City Mission for this book very well, into pithy, moving and sometimes amusing accounts concerning the evolution of the Mission.
Copies can be obtained from the Mission Office for the price of postage alone.

Belfast Town Mission (now, Belfast City Mission) was founded in 1827 to reach the poor, the churchless and the careless. Our aim today is still the same; whilst the times have changed dramatically we continue to preach “a timeless Gospel”
We in the Mission believe intrinsically in the “Reformed Faith”…. Bible based and unashamedly Calvinistic.
Welcome to our web site which we trust will keep you informed of things present and prospective so that you may remember us in prayer as we reach the lost for Christ through the preaching of “The Word”
“No refinements of technique can make up for any failure to recognize that “The Word of God” itself is the true method of evangelism”
“When Christians evangelize, they are not engaging in some harmless pastime. They are engaging in a fearful struggle, the issues of which are eternal”
We have 21 full time Missionary’s on our staff headed up by Mr George Ferguson (Executive Secretary) Mr Bobi Brown (Assistant to Secretary) Mrs Sandra McIlwaine and Mrs Angela Magill who all work in the Mission office.
We also have a Charity Shop on the Lower Donegal Road which is run by Mrs Sally McBurney and volunteers.
On the Dublin Road we have a Café called Searchers managed by Miss Carol Menabney.
We are one of the oldest Urban Missions in the world as we reach out to people in Belfast with the good news that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. We are a registered charity and the finance of our Mission depends entirely upon God as he moves people to support our work. We receive no financial help from the Presbyterian Annual United Appeal or any Governmental Bodies.

(EXECUTIVE SECRETARY)
