Stephen & Alisa Walton
Our journey began at Central Christian College of the Bible, where we met and later tied the knot in September 2007. Together on a trip to Ireland, we witnessed the profound need that existed there. Alisa completed her graduation in 2006, while Stephen, due to a military deployment, completed his studies in 2010. It was during this period of waiting and seeking God's guidance that Ireland was placed firmly on our hearts.
With a deep conviction, we made the decision to become full-time missionaries, driven by our passion to share the transformative message of Jesus Christ with the people of Ireland. Our goal is not only to establish churches but also to empower these communities to plant even more churches.
Presently, we are actively involved in planting Community Christian Church in Moycullen, Galway, as we strive to create a vibrant and inclusive spiritual community.

The Urgency of Hope in Ireland
The situation in Ireland demands urgent attention. Among all English-speaking countries worldwide, Ireland stands with the lowest percentage of evangelical Christians. Less than 1% (30,000 individuals) identify as evangelical Christians. In the 2022 census, Catholicism was the largest religious group with 69% (3.5 million) of the population, although the majority of them are non-active.
The second-largest group was "no religion" at 14%. Ireland's secularization has brought about rapid negative changes, leading to high levels of anxiety, depression, and suicide, ranking among the highest in Europe.
However, amidst these challenges, there is hope. The process of secularization has also sparked a deep yearning and quest for foundational truths and hope in a fractured world. The gospel has a renewed opportunity in Ireland to guide people towards the hope and peace they desperately seek.
