Welcome To The Carraig Centre – Ballincollig
The Carraig Centre is at the heart of Ballincollig to build hope together. It is a venue run by the Carrigrohane Union of Parishes as a community and parish resource!
A Space for Community
We have a range of spaces available for community and parish use.
Sunday AM Service
We host a lively, family friendly Sunday morning church service, called Sunday AM, with modern music, extended talk and prayer. The Adventurers children’s group for ages 3 – 12 meets during the service as well. We meet at 1030AM for coffee and chat with the service starting at 11AM.
A Range of Activities for All Ages
We have spaces and resources for people of all ages and stages. We have opened our outdoors areas to casual users, to birthday parties and to camps so that fun can be had in a safe and controlled environment.
Our new West Wing is now open and activities in 2026 are well underway. While the weather may be fickle there is plenty to keep young and old active and involved. Lent may be here, Easter is not far away. See the activity links below, something for most interests!
Whatever your story, however you see and live life, we believe you are made in God’s image and there is hope in Jesus Christ!

An invitation – Worship With Us @ Sunday AM
Sunday AM is our informal family friendly church service and is part of Carrigrohane Union of Parishes, Church of Ireland –www.cupcork.ie. We are an international group with people from many different faith (and none!) backgrounds.
We meet Sunday’s at 10:30AM for coffee and 11AM for the service and the format is variable, but contains the elements of band lead worship and praise, Bible teaching and prayer and there is a (usually) weekly Adventurers program for primary school aged children.
The service is both on-line and in-person!
On the first Sunday in the month the Carraig Centre often hosts the United Celebration of Carrigrohane Union, where all 4 congregations may get together.
The operation of the multi-purpose Carraig Centre is supported by the rents paid by the groups listed above, but also by Grant support from various bodies. More information can be found here.
We are deeply grateful to all these groups for their past and on-going support!
