The foundation stone for Ballylinney Church was laid on 6 May 1835 with the completion of the building on 11 September 1836.

It was only in 1883 that the church paid for the first Presbyterian Manse to be built on the Hillhead Road where the Minister, Rev Williams, would reside with his family.

Between the years of 1923 and 1956 saw the addition of various luxuries such as the first organ and electric heating and lighting being installed.

By 1966 the stables which were still on the property were then converted for the church hall and to provide both a kitchen and toilet facilities for the congregation.

These days only some of the congregation members are farmers, but by far the majority are young families where the parents commute to other areas, such as Larne, Belfast or Ballymena.
