Our Vision

Jesus great commandment and great commission

When asked what the greatest commandment is Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. (Matthew 22:37-38).
These commandments inspire our motives as a church.

Jesus having risen from the dead commissions His disciples saying: “… go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20). This commission directs our activities as a church.

1 Regularly outreaching to the unchurched population of our city

The apostle Paul said: “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes…” (Romans 1:16)

The “gospel” (which means “good news”) is the amazing message about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and how He has the power to give anyone who believes in Him eternal life and an authentic relationship with God.

We exist to introduce as many people as possible to Jesus in Dublin. As a church we’re committed to regularly communicating this timeless gospel in timely, creative, relevant and engaging ways in our city. Our church calendar is full of events designed to communicate the gospel with our city.

Our growth as a church has predominantly come from people coming to faith for the first time or coming back to faith. By God’s grace we hope to see this attendance growth continue reaching our first major goal of 1% of our city’s population (10000 people) by 2027.

2 Discipleship of believers

Jesus commissioned us to “make disciples”. A “disciple” means a “learner”. We want to be a church that is a learning environment, a place where people can grow in God, reach their God given potential and live life to the full with the Gospel right at the centre. We exist to help believers become mature and fulfill their God given purpose in life.

Here’s 3 ways we do this: As part of our Sunday gatherings we teach empowering truths from the Bible. We aim to do this in an engaging, thought provoking and applicable way so that people can apply the truths on a day-to-day basis.

During the week we run a bible study group where people can meet, pray and study the Bible together. Many people in our church have found the mid week bible study to be excellent forum for them to grow in their faith.

We run our membership course called “According to the Pattern” over 6 weeks. During the time we cover 13 Bible studies giving people a greater understanding of the Bible, the Christian life, the Kingdom of God and the Church and its mission.

3 Offering practical help to a world in need

It’s our conviction that God is deeply concerned for not only the spiritual wellbeing of our city and world but also for our physical and emotional well-being.

We want to be a meaningful and influential Church in Dublin that makes a positive Christian contribution to society, tackles real life issues, and practically meet the needs of people.

Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:13-14)

Salt flavours, and we want to bring the flavour of God’s love to others. Salt preserves, and we want to have a preserving effect in society. Salt heals, we believe that God is able to miraculously heal people physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Light disperses darkness; the Christian message is a message of hope and joy that can disperse hopelessness and depression.
