Connor Streetreach - St Columba's, Derryvolgie

What to Expect

Connor Streetreach is a diocesan outreach mission based at St Columba’s Parish Church, Derryvolgie, running over three days from Monday 17 to Wednesday 19 August 2026. It is listed on the Diocese of Connor’s official events calendar as a Streetreach initiative, the kind of short, intensive community mission that typically combines door-to-door and street-based outreach with organised activities for local children and families, run by teams of clergy, parish volunteers and visiting mission workers based out of the host church for the duration. Streetreach missions of this kind are aimed at building relationships with the wider neighbourhood around the host parish rather than simply serving existing congregation members, and form part of the diocese’s broader programme of parish missions across County Antrim and Belfast. Exact daily activities are coordinated by the host parish and diocesan mission team, but missions of this format commonly include doorstep visits, informal conversations and invitations to parish events, alongside organised games, crafts or holiday club style sessions for children during the day. The three day format allows the visiting mission team and host parish volunteers to build up momentum across the week, with a closing event or service often bringing the mission to a close on the final evening.
