Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.' Isaiah 55, vs 6 and 7.

The congregation traces it's history back to 1690 to a cause in Mass Lane, which was taken over by the Seceders in 1784. In 1825, Union Chapel was built in lower Abbey Street. In 1837 Ebenezer Chapel in D'Olier Street was purchased. In 1846 a new church was built in Lower Gloucester Street, now Sean McDermott Street.

The noted Dr John Love Morrow was ordained in that church in 1884. During his ministry, he saw the transfer of the Congregation to the present graceful building in Clontarf (situated at the junction of Clontarf Road and Howth Road). Dr Morrow died in 1940 and was followed by the talented Rev James Murray Moore who continued in charge until 1962. There followed Rev Samuel James McCollum, Rev Hugh Denis McKillen and Rev John Llywellyn Wynne.

Since 1973 the Congregation has been part of a united charge with Ormond Quay and Scots Presbyterian Church, Lower Abbey Street, Dublin 1. In 1987, Rev David James Bruce was installed and remained with us until 1992 when he left to take up a post with Scripture Union in Northern Ireland.

The Rev James Brogan was installed on the 2nd December 1992 and remained with us until July 2003. On August 1st 2003, the congregations of 'Clontarf' and 'Ormond Quay and Scots' merged and worship in Clontarf as Clontarf' & Scots Presbyterian Church.

The Rev Lorraine Kennedy-Ritchie was installed on the 11^th February 2007 and is our current Minister.

The church contains a magnificent pipe organ and a stained glass window by Harry Clarke. The latter is in memorial to members lost in the Great War 1914 -1918 and more information is available here.
