Friendship | Prayer | Blessing Our Community

Who’s Involved In This?
A group of leaders from several of the churches and organisations in Dromore began meeting in 2024 with an interest in encouraging cooperation in youth work. As our friendships have developed, so has our desire to see our people, young and old, getting to know one another better. We trust that friendship with Jesus in the centre will lead to prayer, and that prayer will lead to transformation that blesses the whole community.
The people involved to this point include folks belonging to the Church of Ireland, Elim, Methodist, Presbyterian and Reformed Presbyterian streams, along with Youth for Christ and support from 24-7prayer Ireland. And we’re open to other fellowships joining in! See below for our church locations, websites and service times – you are always welcome.
