St Thomas' Church is located beside the Rectory at the end of Eglantine Avenue near the Lisburn Road, one of Belfast's main arterial routes. The Parish extends from Elmwood Avenue to Adelaide Park, and from the Malone Road to the Lisburn Road. Find us on this map. Here is how to contact the Rector.

Church and Rectory: The Church and Rectory were built side by side on what was known as 'the Malone Ridge' in 1870. Both buildings are fine examples of Victorian design and workmanship. The Church is one of the finest examples of High Victorian Gothic architecture in Ulster. Many visitors comment on the beauty of the Church enhancing the worship of God. We want to share this beautiful heritage with others.
