The current church building dates from 1841. The history of the congregation dates back to the 1770s when it was set up as the 2nd Presbyterian church when a rift broke out in the congregation of the 1st Ballynahinch Presbyterian Church over what the secessionists saw as the appointment of "liberal and worldly ministers" In 1793 and again in 1829, in true Ulster fashion, there were further splits within the 2nd Presbyterian Church, with the separatists moving out to form the 3rd Ballynahinch Presbyterian Church.
