Welcome to the web site dedicated to the Drive-In Church, Portrush. Portrush is the top tourist town in Northern Ireland and is situated on the famous and beautiful Causeway Coast. Every Sunday evening, in the height of the tourist season, many people make their way to the East Strand car park in the town for the Drive-In Church. This year's series will start on Sunday 13th July and run to the 10th August. Each week we have visiting guests who take part either in testimony or song. Rev. Eric Stewart, M.A. who organises and runs the Portrush Drive-In church brings the closing message at each of the services. Check out the programme below for the details of those who share each Sunday. This is an amazing event attended by crowds generally in excess of 1000 (depending on the weather!). You will find the music stirring and the message challenging. You will feel welcome despite being part of such a large congregation. The service is broadcast to the carpark via 4 large speakers and you can also listen on your car radio (103.5FM). This is a real benefit especially if it rains and for those who can't get parked close to the trailer. This year's programme is as follows. Date Singers 13th July The Agnew / Mander Quartet 20th July Mrs Margaret Johnstone (Brookeborough) 27th July Peter Jackson (S. Wales) with David & Helen Runcie (Fraserburgh) 3rd August Mrs Lorna Butler (Belfast) 10th August Dr Graham Murphy (Belfast) This is a great work - bigger than any man or church. It's is a work of God and we praise Him for what He is doing even in these days of indifference. Many little booklets, "How to become a Christian", are requested each year and we believe there will be those who will seek and find the Saviour having been challenged at the Drive-In Church. The Drive-In season passes by so quickly. Come along if you can and enter in to these special services. They start at 8.15pm but we recommend that you make your way there in good time as people really start to fill the park from about 7pm. There are car park attendants on duty. Orders of service are available as you enter the park and you will soon sense the atmosphere as the music comes from the lorry over the loud speakers. The picture shown to the right is of part of the congregation. It was taken from the top of the trailer just before the first service of the 2007 series. Rev. Eric Stewart is the minister in Coleraine Independent Methodist Church, located near the Showgrounds on the Ballycastle Road. You can also hear him each week on the radio. His program, Glad Tidings Hour, is broadcast every Sunday at 4.30pm on 846MW. A DVD is available of each service. If you would like any more details please e-mail us at secretary@driveinchurch.com.
