Rev William Bingham was called back to Mourne, the congregation he had served as assistant twelve years earlier. Meet the current Mourne team –

Meet the TeamHistory Of Mourne
The Mourne congregation was established on 2
1st July 1696 when
Mr Charles Wallace was ordained in a little church in Ballymageough, Kilkeel. There had been a limited influx of Presbyterians into some townlands in Mourne after the accession of Charles II to the throne in
1660. The numbers of Presbyterians increased steadily after
1691 and in
1696 numbers were sufficient to support a church. Increasing numbers of people attended the church and as numbers increased so the church building had to expand. In
1831 the church building was moved to its present site on Greencastle Street.
