At JVC we want to help you find hope and God’s purpose for your life.
The Church is the vehicle by which God brings His answers to this world. Jesus said ‘I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it’ (Matthew 16:18). At JVC we are committed to building the church that Jesus intended by bringing a message of hope in order to impact and transform this world for His glory.

Beauty by Design is our annual two-day women’s conference which gives women an opportunity to learn more about Jesus and grow in their personal walk with him. Our desire is for the women of Carrickfergus and beyond to be a positive influence in their church and their community.
