"Fitzroy Presbyterian Church can be traced back to 1813, when a small group of families with "burgher" sympathies left Belfast's Seceder Meeting House in Berry Street. The fledgling congregation met in various loaned premises (including Meeting Houses belonging to Methodists, Independents and Covenanters) before hiring premises in Commercial Court as a temporary measure. They successfully petitioned the Secession Synod of Ulster to be recognised as a separate congregation and the Second Seceder Congregation was formalised - it was only the seventh Presbyterian congregation to be established in Belfast. Their first Minister, the Rev. John Edgar, responded to the called in 1820 and the Second Seceder Meeting House (in Alfred Place) was officially opened on 6th January 1822."
