Would you like to make a difference in an amazing city?

We are looking for people who would like to be part of beginning a missional community in the Clontarf area of Dublin. Our hope is to start missional communities throughout the city of Dublin, and across Ireland.

Sound interesting?

So, what does it look like to be part of a missional community?

In its simplest form, being part of a missional community involves living in a way that mirrors how Jesus and his disciples lived: spending time together, sharing meals, loving and serving Jesus, each other and our neighbourhoods.

It’s about more than just ‘showing up’ on a Sunday. It’s about being a follower of Jesus IN your neighbourhood. It’s about forming relationships, both with those who follow Jesus and those who don’t, and then loving and serving the people in your neighbourhood and in your city.

If you live in Dublin and would like to be part of this type of community, or if you’d be interested in moving to the Northeast section of Dublin to learn how to start other missional communities in Dublin and in the rest of Ireland, we’d love to chat! Please use the form below and we’ll get in touch within 24 hours.

Who is Leading this?

This project is being led by Bob & Elizabeth Wilson. We have spent the past 25 years discipling, coaching and sending leaders.

Currently we are team leaders in Dublin with Christian Associates International.

Prior to moving to Dublin in 2012, we planted the Vineyard Church of Ithaca in New York State, and led that church for 13 years. While there, we coached and sent out a couple who planted the Vineyard Church of Wellsboro in Pennsylvania. Prior to the Ithaca Vineyard, we planted university ministries at the University at Albany, and Cornell University. Previously Bob was part of the Vineyard USA national leadership team as a Church Planting Coordinator, as well as a University Chaplain at Cornell University.

We look forward to hearing from you.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, please use this contact form. We look forward to hearing from you.

What about Bob?

I grew up in Western New York and have started and led missional church planting efforts for a little over 30 years. As you might gather, I have opinions about the church, and I share some of them here.

It is said doctors make the worst patients. So, when I visit a church, I work at being positive and noticing the good. At the same time, I believe it is crucial to critique what we, as the church, do. In Ireland, just as in the States, the fastest growing religious group is the “Nones”. While you can find a lot out there blaming the Nones, the ex-vangelicals, or those who are deconstructing their faith, for why fewer people attend church than did previously, I believe the first place we need to look is at ourselves.

The Clergy-Laity Thing is a Problem

I have been writing a series of posts on Christendom and have shared both some of the positives as well as some of the negatives. Today we’ll start getting into some specifics. One of Christendom’s most enduring legacies is creating a professional...

3 Ways Christendom Has Been Bad for the Church

May 16, 2023

This is the fourth post in a series I’ve been writing on Christendom. The previous ones (here, here and here) were to lay some groundwork as I move into the main idea I want to dig into: the damage done to the church by aligning with the Roman Empire and,...
