Married since 2011, with four kids in tow and a love for Jesus and his church. We’ve been involved in church for as long as we can remember. In many ways, it was only natural that we both wanted to spend our lives serving in the church. And that’s exactly what we did—sweeping floors, running Bible studies and community events, whatever was needed, we were there. Helping people is our passion, especially when it comes to supporting them on their spiritual journeys.
What we didn’t expect was where God would lead us. We had always assumed we’d stay in Dublin— Caroline is as Dub as they come, born and raised in Firhouse, and never ventured far beyond it. One of her preconditions before we got married was that we would never leave Dublin.
But during the COVID years, it all changed. We both began feeling God calling us to Galway. While St. Patrick was called to all of Ireland, we felt called specifically to the people of Galway. After much prayer, we packed our bags, sold our house, and headed West.
Since arriving in Galway, God has been so kind. We’ve seen lives transformed through our ministry—people baptized, marriages strengthened, individuals freed from despair and even suicidal thoughts. And it’s all been done through building community.
Now, we want to expand that community by starting a new church—L15 in Galway.
At L15, we follow our mission and values to bless the people of Galway, grow together, and honour God.
We exists to help people find and follow Jesus through a healthy, welcoming church community.
Jesus came and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go and make followers of all the nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. Remember that I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

We are committed to doing life together and moving beyond small talk and formalities, to connect with people each other in meaningful ways.
“Be happy with those who are happy. Cry with those who cry.”

We share God’s Word in a simple, understandable way that everyone can apply to life.
“The command I am giving you today is not too hard for you. It is not far away in heaven. It is not far away across the sea. You do not need to ask, “Who will go to heaven or cross the sea to get it for us so we can obey it?” No, the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart. You can obey it.”

We connect with God, trusting Him in every part of life.
“Pray at all times in the Spirit. Pray with all kinds of prayers and requests. Always stay alert. Always keep on praying for all God’s people”.

We nurture, equip, and inspire young people to follow Jesus and lead with faith.
But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them. God’s kingdom belongs to those who are like these children.”

We will lead the way with irrational generosity.
We truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.

We are spiritual contributors not spiritual consumers.
The church does not exist for us. We are the church and we exist for the world.
“Each of you has received a gift. Use it to serve others, as good managers of the great variety of God’s gifts”.
