Trinity RPC in Northern Ireland Welcomes Minister

Trinity Reformed Presbyterian Church in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, was packed for the installation service of their new minister, Rev. Warren Peel.

The Trinity congregation had been vacant since their former minister, Rev. Prof. Edward Donnelly, retired in Sept. 2011 after a long and fruitful ministry during which the church experienced significant growth.

Married with four daughters, Rev. Warren Peel was formerly the minister of Ballyclabber RPC in Coleraine, Northern Ireland.
