What an amazing event venue! I attended the press launch of Belfast Fashion Week and initially when…read moreI found out where it was going to be hosted I was surprised. I thought Belfast's fashionistas would have chosen a more opulent venue but once I entered the Life Church i was blown away by what was on offer. Firstly the location is amazing, about a five minute walk from GV Street Station and opposite a car park it couldn't have been any more accessible if it tried. To get into life church you must first walk under an arch, today the arch was beautifully decorated with fairly lights creating a lovely ambiance on entry. Once inside the venue was much more spacious than I expected although the low roof and exposed beams make it a more intimate feeling. Today we were watching a presentation and the sound carried perfectly. I believe that Fashion week had decorated the venue, and they did a great job. This is somewhere I had previously not been but I am very impressed by what I have seen.

The church have only recently started meeting here. There have been on the go for ages but have not owned a building until now. And they have only started meeting in the morning instead of evening. People where welcoming and there was coffee at the door. Ethically sourced good quality stuff. It's an old buildings with a more modern stamp. Nice touch to have a birds eye view of Belfast projected onto the wall. The image and graphics etc are modern and fresh. The style of the service etc is more old school. It's a strange mix. The worship is a good length. The talk was about half an hour. People where friendly and came over to talk to me.

Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle is like marmite. Interestingly, I didn't dislike it, but I…read morecertainly didn't love it. That said, I've established before that my middle name is indecisive, so I'm sure you're not surprised. Love it or loathe it, you have to admit that the Tabernacle is totally breathtaking, and for me, it was incredibly overwhelming... Imagine five dozy teens jammed into the one car, speeding up the motorway, desperately trying to find the turnoff a mere five minutes before the church service begins. [And blast...we missed it.] Cue elaborate plan to somehow get us all back on track towards our destination. The now sweaty, agitated teens manage to somehow evaluate the situation agreeably, and eventually land in the church car park, fifteen minutes late. All of a fluster, the five teens leap out of the car and make a mad dash for the church building. (To say that the Tabernacle is humongous is really an understatement. I've never seen anything quite like it.) People are still rapidly coming in in their droves - unequivocal mayhem. Front foyer is incredible, and the massive gold fountain in the front foyer is really far too elaborate, representing the extent of the church's extravagant ornateness. Welcomed by a series of ushers, the five teens are quickly introduced to their seats on the balcony, staring in awe at the numerous people around them and on the floor below. The choir is magnificent; the band play well; the preacher is all 'hell, fire and damnation', and exceedingly scary; communion is passed around in an elaborate bowl and cup holder, and the service is over. That's honestly how it felt, so overwhelmed was I by the whole experience. The visit was not a negative one, but I am absolutely certain I could not attend Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle every week. It is far too extensive and formidable for my liking. Beautiful church though, and an experience that I didn't forget in a hurry, and one you should try.

We are part of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Our church meets for worship and fellowship every Sunday morning at 10.30am and Sunday evening at 7.00pm. Everyone's welcome to our services and to the many events and organisations we run throughout the week. Our building didn't always look like it does today. We completed a major renovation and rebuilding project in September 2008 and our new building gives us more space, more facilities and more possibilities. But the new building is simply a means to an end. It helps us to be an open and welcoming church which serves our community - and we're excited about how the community is responding.

The cycle of many residents of North Belfast's lives are viewed through the eyes of this church. And it's lovely. Whether you are religious or not, you can't help but be charmed by its simplicity. It's not as ornate as other Catholic churches usually are, letting its beautiful stained glass windows have their intended effect, and it has a fairly plain, but fresh and pretty altar area at the far end. I was lucky enough to have my wedding in this church, and it was a special place to have it in. Small enough to feel informal and special, but big enough to feel like an important event. It may sound silly to say that, but the architecture of some churches, in particular the more modern ones, just don't have that quality. The acoustics are fabulous too, if like me, you are lucky enough to have some beautiful music and singing at your wedding, or yes, even at a funeral, the acoustics work very well. There is space on the back balcony with the organ (which has a lovely sound) for musicians to play from and a choir to sit also. If you are a church enthusiast, I would recommend you take some quiet time to sit in here and enjoy the atmosphere, and if you're looking for a church to marry in, I couldn't recommend it more highly. The staff of the parish were unfailingly helpful with all the arrangements and just couldn't do enough. Ah, the memories...
