Church History

1749: Congregation formed (and known originally as Killaney Presbyterian).
1802: Meeting House built.
1815: Congregation became known as Boardmills Presbyterian.
2002: All three Presbyterians churches in Boardmills merged as Trinity Presbyterian.

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.
