The Presbyterian Church was formed in Bellaghy in 1825 and were initially known as the ‘Seceders’. They met in the old Malt House, which they shared with the Methodist Church.
The present Church was built in 1838, and around this time a second Presbyterian congregation was formed in Bellaghy. This new Church was situated on the Portglenone side of Bellaghy, where the present day Manse stands.
The originally Seceders Church became known as First Bellaghy and the new Church Second Bellaghy.
Eventually in 1840 the two Churches were united to form the present day Bellaghy Presbyterian Church. The original Second Bellaghy Church building was renovated and was used as the Manse. In 1936 the Manse was destroyed by fire and the present day Manse was built on the site
