The congregation’s services centre on reason, inclusion and community, without strict doctrine. The church also hosts music performances, giving you another way to experience the building. Its history is linked to Irish revolutionary Robert Emmet and John Jameson, founder of the distillery. Come on a Sunday morning for a service, or check the church’s programme for a gig.
A church built with a bequest
The church was built more than 150 years ago with money left by Thomas Wilson, a member of the congregation. Wilson’s father, George Washington’s aide-de-camp during the American War of Independence, connects the story of the building to events beyond Ireland.
Among the church’s former members were Irish revolutionary Robert Emmet and John Jameson, founder of the distillery. These links give the building a place in Dublin’s religious and civic history.
Services and live music
Sunday worship focuses on rational thought, inclusion and community, rather than strict doctrine. A service is a way to experience the congregation as well as the church building; Sunday morning worship begins at 11 o’clock.
The church also hosts live music performances. Check its website for event details and ticket information before planning a visit. The building can be appreciated outside a service or performance, but access arrangements may make entry difficult for some visitors with disabilities.
