Welcome to our web page

Hello! It’s my privilege to welcome you to this website for the Church of Ireland Parish of Carrickfergus. We are a community of Christian people who worship together in the beautiful & historic surroundings of St Nicholas’ Church in the centre of Carrickfergus town. We aim to be people who experience the love and mercy of God through his Son Jesus Christ, who encourage and support each other as we seek to grow in faith, and who reach out in love to others - whether they live beside us or on the other side of the world! Here you will find information about our worshipping life together, basic information about what it means to follow Jesus, forthcoming events, the various organisations that serve the community, the history of our church building and some information about the town of Carrickfergus. So, whether you are a member of the parish, someone looking for more information about the Christian faith or a new church home, or simply planning a visit to the town – I hope that you will find the website informative and helpful. If you need more help or information do contact the Parish Office. If you live locally or should find yourself in Carrickfergus some Sunday, do call in and see us in person – we’d be delighted if you were able to join us at worship! May God bless you,
George Davison, Rector

Heather Cooke Diocesan Reader




Hi.   My name is Heather Cooke and I am a Diocesan Reader. That means I can lead services, preach and assist at communion. As part of my course I have been assigned to St Nicholas’ for a year. During this year you will hear me preach and see me leading services. During the week I am a primary school teacher, teaching 7 and 8 year olds. This is challenging and can be frustrating but mostly it is great fun. I really enjoy all the funny things that children say and do. I have four children of my own, a husband Edwin, and a dog called Fudge who is spoilt rotten! I have many hobbies-Tai Bo, walking, reading, going to the theatre, badminton and writing poetry. I am enjoying my time in St Nicholas very much. You have already made me feel very welcome. I know I will learn a lot from worshipping with you and I hope my ministry will be a blessing to all of you.
