localchurch
for the people of D12
Join us on the adventure as we pioneer a new local, contemporary and fresh expression of church in the heart of D12, with the hope of reaching unchurched people.
Meet the Pioneers
At the start of 2023, Shane & Ruth with their two children began to sense a call to pioneer a new local church in the heart of Dublin 12. Having already been apart of two local churches in Crumlin during their teenage years, their hearts break again for the people of this area & long to pioneer a new community for people of all ages & stages.
Shane has served on staff in St. Catherine’s as a Pastor for a number of years now, and in September 2024 will begin training in the church of Ireland as a Pioneer Minister.
If you’d like to connect with Shane or Ruth, the button below will connect you with them. They both look forward to sharing a cuppa and exploring the future with you.
Give with us.
Pray with us.
Local Church is in partnership with Pioneer Ministry.
Pioneer Ministries exist in addition to, rather than instead of, traditional approaches that the Church is currently using to reach out to and engage with those around it. Pioneer Ministry plays its role within a Mixed Ecology of the Church, with traditional and new ministries complementing each other and honouring each other through mutual prayer, respect, recognition and learning.
