Christmas and New Year socials
During the Christmas and New Year season we won’t be gathering on Sunday 25th December or Sunday 1st January and our City Groups will be taking a break, but we still want to connect as a community. So we’re arranging three socials in different people’s houses – there’ll be snacks and maybe some games or a film, […]
3 Freedoms that financial giving brings
This Sunday we have a ‘Giving Sunday’, where I’ll teach on the biblical principles of financial giving, and why giving to a local church is a good idea. In this blog post I want to talk about 3 freedoms that come from giving. You see, most people think that if they give financially they’ll ‘lose out’; they’ll […]
City Group – Resources
At Christ City Church we have four values: 1. Community (having good friends) 2. Discipleship (growing in our relationship with God) 3. Mission (helping others come to know God) 4.

The Pub – Gluttons & Drunkards?
Every Sunday since we started the church we have always gone to the pub after our service (sometimes before too!) First it was Crowbar, then it was Sweetmans and now it’s The Bleeding Horse. And each Sunday we get anywhere between 10-35 people and it’s great craic. So why do we go to pub each week? […]
Is Church still relevant in and to Dublin?
Four years ago (January 2012) Leanne and I visited Dublin for a week to try and help us answer the question “should we come to Dublin to start a church?” It was an amazing visit and became a clinching experience as to why we decided to come, which we haven’t regretted one bit! During that visit I think we […]
2 Reflections on Christian Community from Dietrich Bonheoffer
One of our core values as a church is community, and this August we’re going to stop gathering together on a Sunday to spend more time intentionally building community through various activities and lots of food. We’ll kick back into our normal Sunday Gathering routine in September. So this month of ‘life together’ felt like a good […]
Walking with God in the Psalms (from self to community) – new preaching series
Each summer as a church we spend five or six weeks in the Psalms. Why? Because we all need help in prayer and the Psalms are God’s prayer book: words he has given us, for all circumstances of life and for all the emotions we feel, in order to pray to him. In this particular series […]
