About Us

Castlereagh Fellowship came into existence in 1993. We are a group of ordinary people who have come to personal faith in Jesus Christ. Our lives have been transformed by the grace of God and we count it a great privilege to be in relationship with the true and living God. As people who have received the love and mercy of God we rejoice in God our Saviour and, by his help, are committed to living thankful lives that honour him.

Why do we exist?

Castlereagh Fellowship exists for a threefold purpose:

  • To praise and worship God
  • To encourage the growth of believers
  • To equip individuals to be a witness in the world

Our vision is to see God glorified through both adoration and service. We aim to build up the members of the Fellowship by encouraging them in their faith and we seek to make new disciples through our witness both locally and worldwide.
