The Presbyterians of Groomsport originally met in a small house on Main Street. The first minister, the Rev Isaac Mack, was ordained and installed on 10th April 1841.
The local landowners, John Waring Maxwell and Lord Dufferin were not willing to help by providing a site for a church. However, a church was built on Main Street, on the site of a house which had been owned by the widow of a Presbyterian minister. It was completed by 1843.
The clock tower was added in 1863 and there were further extensions and refurbishments in the 1970s and 1990s.
