The Presbyterian Church in Ireland is a Protestant denomination governed under Presbyterian polity, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the kingship of Christ, and the authority of Scripture, and it serves more than 240,000 members in 545 congregations across 19 presbyteries. Worship centers on the preaching of the Word, accompanied by prayer and praise, with no fixed liturgy and elements adapted to each occasion. The church shares leadership between ministers and members in planning and delivering its work, reflecting its emphasis on community responsibility. Among recent developments, Curran was appointed in September 2024 to lead a regeneration project overseen by the Council for Mission in Ireland.
