Welcome!
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.

The 2011 series started on Sunday 17th July and continued for 5 weeks, the final service being on Sunday 14th August. Videos of the services will be posted here before the end of August.
We only had one wet night this year and we really appreciate the support of so many visitors night after night. This has been a good year and now we look forward to 2012, the 20th year of the Drive-In Church. God willing we will commence on 15th July.
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.
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 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 8pm 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.
