"Stranmillis Church, in common with many of the congregations within the EPC was established in 1927. Our first meeting place was the Alliance Hall in Shaftesbury Square. This hall is no longer in existence but stood at the junction of Great Victoria Street and Dublin Road on the site now occupied by the Ulster Bank. In 1930 the congregtaion rented church premises in Botanic Avenue from the Reformed Presbyterian Church and, a few years later, purchased this building as the permanent home for the work and witness of the church. Due to proposed redevelopment plans (which never actually materialised!) it was necessary to move from Botanic Avenue in 1971. The current building was purchased from St Bartholemews Church of Ireland and during the last forty years has been extensively refurbished on two occasions. Various church activities are also held in the Lisburn Road Hall (491 Lisburn Road) located directly opposite the Lisburn Road PSNI Station.
Since 1927 the congregation has been served by three ministers, W J Grier, Derek Thomas and Gareth Burke. The members and adherents of the church are drawn from a wide geographical area but come together on the Stranmillis site to reach out with the gospel to the many people from different nations who live in South Belfast."
