ABOUT US

Who Are We?

Dun Laoghaire Evangelical Church has existed in the Dun Laoghaire area since the late 19th Century. We built our first church in Northumberland Avenue (Northumberland Hall) in 1911 and moved to our current location in 1989. We are an independent Evangelical Christian Church who seek to live out our faith in the south Dublin area. 

We believe that Jesus calls us to pursue a radical lifestyle of love and service to each other and the world around us. You are welcome to visit us any Sunday morning for our service of worship, bible teaching, and fellowship.
