In case you were wondering why we're holding our speaker events at the St Luke's UCC in Belfast, we of course have a historical explanation!
The Henry family noticed the need for a nearby church due to the increase of industry in the local area, as the nearest church was over 3 miles away. While the Moravian Church did not have the resources to assist, the Henrys acquired funding by several individuals including J. Joseph Henry, Matthew Henry, and William Henry III. The church was used by different denominations for meetings and worship.
The church has a very unique history beyond the Henry family involvement, so we are very grateful for the resources we received regarding this history.

It becomes all the more special that we get to host our special speaker events such as General Washington's presentation this past weekend, and our upcoming Centennial President Grant on October 10th.

Anyone interested in further information about the church or the speaker events, please contact [email protected]
