Island Church

Island Church Our Story
We are a family of five who have been called as missionaries and pastors to the island of Ireland. Island Church Dundalk was birthed 26 April 2018.

We are not a Northern Church nor a Southern Church, but an Island Church made up of all the beautiful people that are represented throughout this great island of Ireland with one common focus; cultivating Heaven's culture on earth. We committed ourselves to ministry in 2008 while balancing the business we owned and operated in Texas. God led us to Galveston, Texas, and to our church home of Island

Church in 2013 pastored by Rusty and Leah Martin, where we were able to serve as volunteers and grow toward our destiny. God truly had a bigger plan when He led us to this missions focused church. He began to stir a passion in us for Europe and eventually narrowed it down to Ireland. Through our pastor’s ministry experience in Ireland, we were sown into, equipped and prepared to enter the mission field. After two years of preparation, which included selling our business, home and everything else we owned, we launched out into full time ministry in Dublin, Ireland. We were honoured to serve the great family of All Nations Church Dublin as associate pastors for two years participating in many ministries within, including children’s ministry, small groups, homeless outreach, prayer team, cleaning and hospitality. God has placed within us a desire to equip, encourage and raise up the body of Christ into their callings and destinies, multiplying the body through discipleship. In April 2017, our hearts began to burn for the people of Dundalk. By the leading of the Holy Spirit, we once again prepared to sell our Dublin home and move our family to Dundalk, Co Louth where we currently reside. We anticipate great things for this island and are thankful for the opportunity and privilege to serve the beautiful people of Dundalk. In November 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic, the Holy Spirit started to lead us to prepare for a new church plant! As we traveled all throughout the northern part of this Island, our hearts began to burn once again, but for the people of Derry / Londonderry. Knowing this passion could not be shaken, we are excited to plant a strong local church that flows in Holy Ghost right in the heart of the city. It is amazing to know how much our Lord loves the people of this Island and what a privilege to continue to serve these people in a new city. Our call is to the people, people are our purpose.
