Congregational Union of Ireland

The Congregational Union of Ireland is strongly associated with the Puritans and Oliver Cromwell.^[1] The Irish Congregational Church was formed in 1829. In 1899 it absorbed the Irish Evangelical Society. By 1927 there were about 10,000 members in Ireland.^[2]

The denomination affirms the Savoy Declaration.^[3]^[4]

It has close contacts with the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches.^[5]

Church membership is around 3,200 in 26 congregations.^[6] Most members are in Northern Ireland; the Republic of Ireland census of 2016 enumerated 68 Congregationalists.^[7]

The chairman is Rev. Nigel Kissing.^[8]^{[as of?]}
