Church Road, Gracehill, Ballymena, Co Antrim BT 42 2NL
Welcome
Welcome to Gracehill Moravian Church,
We are a friendly Church who meet as followers of Jesus, and as friends, for worship and fellowship each Sunday morning. The Church is in the middle of the settlement looking out over the beautiful square with tall lime trees and the Montgomery Oak. On two other sides of the square are historic buildings with fascinating stories to tell. A short walk behind the Church leads to God’s Acre, not just the burial ground of the Church but a haven of peace and quiet. Gracehill is a classic example of a Moravian settlement with strong links to other Moravian settlements around the world.
Gracehill Moravian settlement is part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing called ‘Moravian Church Settlements’. As such we are closely linked with the other Churches in the transnational series, Bethlehem, PA in the United States, Herrnhut in Germany and Christiansfeld in Denmark.

Our Children’s Church joins us for the first third of the service and then goes to its own sessions in the Church Hall. We also have a crèche room in the hall available for parents with babies if they wish to use it.
We celebrate Holy Communion on the first Sunday in the month as part of our Morning Service and all who love the Lord Jesus are welcome to join us. We usually have refreshments in Church after our Morning Service which gives us a great chance to catch up on news and build fellowship.
Our services are published on our YouTube channel, search for ‘Gracehill Moravian Church’.

Boys Brigade meets on Monday evenings and Girls Brigade meets on Tuesday evenings in our Hall.
