Kingsmills Presbyterian Church broke away from the Mountnorris congregation in 1788 and at first worshiped in a local corn mill. Later, a thatched roof and earthen floor church was built to house the congregation. In 1837 it was replaced by the present stone and slate building. In 1978 Kingsmills became a joint pastorate with the First Drumbanagher and Jarrettspass congregation. With a membership of 90 families Kingsmills is the largest of the two congregations.
