First time on our website?
We are so glad you have taken the time to check us out and see what we're about! We know you have access to thousands of incredible churches all over Limerick, and the world, so we are honoured you have taken the time to check in with us! We are a group of people who love Jesus and want to see Him known. We take our faith and the gospel serious, but we try have a laugh at everything, especially ourselves.
There is a lot of information on this website for you to look at and explore, but how much can you really get to know someone from reading about them, or watching a video? If you would like to fill in a Contact Form and let us know a little about you, we would love to connect with you, we can set up a phone or video call. And don't worry, you are not signing up for, or committing, to anything by sending us your information, we just want to reach out and let you know you matter.
About Us
We are a group of people who believe life is an adventure. We are not about mere religion or a specific denomination; we are about introducing people to the adventure that a life with Christ can bring, and then challenging and encouraging them to live a life of significance. We want to be an Irish church that is known for its service to you and the city of Limerick. We don't want to be a church that talks the talk, but a church that serves people.
Do you have some serious doubts about Christianity? Even more doubts about church? Not sure you could fit in, or are afraid lightning might strike if you show up? Join the club.
Seriously, Elevate is made up of people who, not long ago, felt confused about where they stood with God and could never picture themselves as part of a church. We don’t know your journey, but want you to come as you are. Bring your doubts, wear whatever you want, and you don’t even have to put on a fake smile if you don’t want to.
Our Team
Elevate is made up of dozens of volunteers, which allows us to reach so many people each week with the good news of Jesus. It would be impossible for us to post every person who makes an incredible contribution each week. So we have added the staff who oversee all of our volunteers.

Dermot
Dermot leads the overall ministry at Elevate. His passion is bringing God's Word to life and helping people apply it to their everyday lives, always keeping in mind that people are coming from all different backgrounds and upbringings, to point them to God's truth. Dermot's experience from leading and working at churches, while not actually growing up in church himself, has given him a particular passion for people who didn't grow up in church.

Our Partners
Elevate is part of such an amazing community of people and organisations that make up the Church. We partner with some financially through the generosity of people at Elevate, and we partner with all in prayer by lifting them up and seeking God's will and the Holy Spirit's guidance for them.
It is exciting to see how God moves in Ireland, and around the world, to grow his Church. We are proud to come alongside our partners and see God use them.
