St. Paul’s is a daughter church of Christ Church, Lisburn. The Parish was intended to serve the Tonagh Estate, Moira Road, Ballinderry Road and the new housing estates planned for the area. The present site was purchased by Christ Church in October 1959. The Rev. Ken Cochrane became curate in charge of the new district of St. Paul’s in May 1962. Two army huts were erected and were joined together by a kitchen area. Having being renovated by voluntary labour, they became a temporary church and church hall and services commenced in September 1962. The foundation stone of the present church was laid in November 1962 and the church was consecrated on 25th January 1964. The building cost £40,000. Ken Cochrane was instituted as Rector in January 1965 and St. Paul’s became a separate parish in 1966. The present Parochial Hall was opened in May 1974. The present Rector, the Rev. James Carson, was instituted in June 1999. Mr. Carson is assisted by Associate Minister, Stephen McWhirter, and two Lay-readers Jim Neill and Mark Jamison, along with youth worker Steven Boucher
