Near the harbour, Ballywalter, Presbyterian

The church did not have a graveyard.

The original Ballywalter Presbyterian Church, founded in 1770 and replaced by a new church at the junction of Well Road and Main Street in about 1815. It closed in 1815.

The Presbyterian church was influenced by Calvinism which rejected bishops and believed that the church should be governed by a hierarchy of general assembly, synod, presbytery and kirk sessions attended by ministers and elders of equal rank. Presbyterianism flourished in the 17th and early 18th centuries but in the later 18th century many Presbyterian churches adopted Unitarianism.
