Brief history as recorded in a book ‘Lisburn’s Rich Church Heritage’ by John Kelly

Around 1905 a number of believers began to meet in the home of R M Watson for bible study.  In 1920 Mr Stanley Buchanon and Mr John Hutchinson held a series of Gospel meetings and an Assembly was formed which for a short time met in Mr Watsons home.  A new hall was built in 1923 and the Assembly then numbered about 40 members.  The gospel has been preached faithfully from then and a good children’s work has been maintained.  For many years a gospel outreach and Sunday School was carried on at Porters Barn, Poleglass.  Many heard the Gospel and trusted Christ as Saviour as a result.  Another outreach commenced in Dunmurry in 1929 and resulted in the formation of an Assembly there in 1956.  In 1966 the Derriaghy Gospel Hall was refurbished, a new front was added which included a foyer and toilets.
