| Craigavon Presbyterian Church destroyed by arson attacks |
Craigavon Presbyterian Church was first opened in 1972 and was completely destroyed by fire in 1987. The church had to be completely rebuilt only to be damaged by fire again in 1993 and in 2000. No one was ever convicted for any these attacks, the third on the church inside 13 years. Almost a year after the last arson attack, Craigavon Presbyterian Church situated on the Drumgor Road, Brownlow, was re-opened by the then Presbyterian Moderator , Dr Trevor Morrow who said that the church was to be congratulated on the enthusiasm and energy shown by the congregation, who once again had refurbished their church. He commended the resilience of their faith in the midst of may setbacks as an example to everyone. The re-building had cost £250,000 of which the congregation had to raise £50,000. One of the great things to come out of these fires was the way that the whole community had come together to support the church through these difficult times. There had been no lack of interest and goodwill shown to the congregation. The congregation had been moved by the tremendous care and encouragement shown by the local community and many people from further afield, not least the prayerful support in addition to both practical and financial help. |
