Mayor congratulates Portrush man named Moderator
The Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has welcomed the selection of Reverend John Kirkpatrick as the next Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
Rev Kirkpatrick has led Portrush Presbyterian Church since 1993 and prior to this he spent almost six years in Garryduff.
Cllr Richard Holmes said: “This is a great personal honour for Rev Kirkpatrick, and the wider Borough as well. He has close connections to Causeway Coast and Glens through his long ministry, his birthplace in Limavady and his schooling at Coleraine Academical Institution, and he becomes the first ever Moderator from Portrush in the Church’s long history.
“I want to offer Reverend Kirkpatrick my warmest congratulations and every good wish as he prepares to take up his new position later in the year.”
