Ballykeel Pentecostal Church is situated in Ballykeel 2 estate. You’ll find it if you pass the entrance to Tesco’s Superstore Ballymena, then continue straight on, passing Ballykeel 1 estate and the local primary school on your left. After the primary school there are two turns into the left both of which will bring you close to the church building.
The current emphasis of the church is on preparing the people of God for outreach and ministry by using and encouraging their giftings and talents wherever possible and training in character and practice for the better use of those gifts.
Here are some outreach ministries at Ballykeel Pentecostal Church;
- Aglow International Local Branch
