Teaching that disciples, equips and sends people out to live what they believe.

A Place for the Next Generation

Children find Christ, young people find purpose, and tomorrow's leaders are raised.

A Place for Families

Marriages are strengthened, families are supported, and every person belongs.

A Place for Community

Our doors stay open to serve, to support and to bring hope to the people of Belfast.

The sanctuary at 5 Paulett Avenue today — organ pipes, stained glass and empty pews

What we have inherited

Empty since 2010.

Dust settled on the pews.

An organ gone quiet.

Stained glass with no one to see it.

A church family gathered together after a service

What we see

Full again, every Sunday.

Every seat taken.

Music through the whole house.

Generations gathered beneath it.

Why now

The purchase was the beginning

In 1928 the congregation before us spent roughly £6,000 on a new hall for people they would never meet. Every generation at 5 Paulett has built for the one that followed.

The doors closed in 2010 and the building has been waiting ever since. The keys are ours now. The roof, the stone and the windows are still ahead of us.

Now it is our turn

How the wall rises

We cannot build this alone

Nehemiah's wall was never rebuilt by one person. Families took a section. Individuals took a section. Groups took a section — and together the work was finished. 5 Paulett will rise the same way.

“Let us rise up and build.”

Nehemiah 2:18

Every gift, in every pot, restores the same house

PVN Belfast alumni

You may have left Belfast.You never left the story.

Some came as students.

Some came for work.

Some found Christ here.

Some found the friends they still have.

Then life took you elsewhere. The home we prayed for together has finally come.

The way back

  1. Remember

    The old photographs, and the stories still attached to them.

  2. Reconnect

    Find your year, your ministry, your family, your city.

  3. Rebuild

    Give, start a pot, or join one that is already rising.

The invitation

The ruins are waiting.The legacy is ours to restore.

Give today, start a pot, or share the campaign — every part of the wall matters.
