About us
Empowering locally led mission
Having seen scandals and poor leadership in the church, many in Ireland have turned their back on religion. We believe that the hope of Jesus can bring lasting transformation to people and communities across the island.
Many leaders share our hope and are passionate about local mission. However, they often lack the resources they need and feel isolated and overwhelmed.
That is where Innovista Ireland comes in. Since 2009 we have been providing high quality, practical training, coaching, and mentoring for local leaders. We empower them to catalyse change in their communities.
We can’t do this alone, so we focus our resources and collaborate with others. We know that we are better together. And when we work together, we practically demonstrate the way Jesus calls us to work – as one body with many different parts.
Our Vision
People and places across Ireland are changed for good through locally led mission movements.
