Faith, community and heritage celebrated in Stormont parish video

An exciting new video highlighting the ministry, community outreach and creativity of St Molua’s Church, Stormont, shows how a parish can be promoted through good quality local video production (including drone footage of the building and surrounding area).

Faith, Community and Heritage at Stormont has been published today following its launch at yesterday’s Sunday morning service. Many people will know St Molua’s from its prominent location on the Upper Newtownards Road, just across from the Stormont Estate.

The parish’s minister–in–charge, Church Army officer Laurence Bellew, remarked: “Stormont Parish is active in the local community and beyond. Our mission is to reach up with worship, reach out through evangelism, and reach our potential through discipleship. We hope that the video introduces our place of worship to anyone who doesn’t yet have a church to call their home. You would be most welcome. Thank you to Stewart, Peter, Frances and Malcolm for all their work in making this possible.”

Across six minutes, the video opens the church’s doors to a new audience and shows how its impressive murals and other artworks share the story of our faith in Jesus. Viewers can find out more on the parish website at www.stmoluasonline.com and Facebook page @StMoluasChurch

This project, produced by Stewart Thomson Media and supported by the Church of Ireland Press Office, follows on from Stewart’s 2024 documentary Life on Campus for the Hub Belfast – the Church of Ireland and Methodist chaplaincy for the city’s universities and colleges (see below).
