About Us
New Wine Ireland is…
… a movement of churches working together to change the island of Ireland through a network of church leaders, our summer conference and training events.
New Wine Ireland is about an understanding that God is doing a new thing, involving the outpouring of His Holy Spirit.
‘And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.’
(Luke 5:37-38 NIV)
Our Vision is…
… that in our generation:
we will see churches across Ireland renewed and restored in passion for the Word and Works of God;
we will see individuals and families transformed by meeting Jesus and empowered by His Holy Spirit and this will impact our society; and
Christians will feel compelled to go out and share the good news of Jesus – forgiveness, healing, hope, restoration and new life – across the length and breadth of Ireland and further afield.
Our Values are…
Continuity and change - Being faithful to Jesus’ message while also adapting our practices according to culture and context.
Cross and resurrection - Honouring Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, all the while experiencing the power of his resurrection to set us free.
Grace and truth - Being kind and generous towards others, while clearly communicating our beliefs to them.
Leadership and every-member ministry - Training and releasing leaders to serve the church, and equipping all Christians, wherever they are.
Mission and community - Empowering the church to become a missionary movement, as well as a grace-filled community.
Natural and supernatural - Encouraging all Christians to use their natural skills, yet also operating in the gifts of the Spirit.
Now and not yet of the kingdom - Recognising miraculous signs and wonders, while accepting the knowledge that suffering is part of life until Jesus returns.
Transcendence and presence - Celebrating God’s awesome power and experiencing intimate presence.
Unity and diversity - Working with everyone in open friendship, yet honouring peoples’ differences.
Word and Spirit - Faithful in teaching the Word of God and learning to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit.
New Wine Ireland is a non-denominational organisation which affirms the Evangelical Alliance ‘Basis of faith’ and the ‘Jerusalem Statement’ (2008).
