The Dublin Hub is one of the ways we seek to make theological training accessible across Ireland.

At the heart of the Dublin Hub is our Foundations course. Foundations is designed for anyone who wants to study theology and be better equipped to serve in their local church, in whatever capacity they are called. Our aim is to provide rich theological training and meaningful fellowship for those who are not in formal ministry roles, helping you grow in both knowledge and confidence as you serve.

The course is highly flexible. You can enrol in a single module, take several throughout the year, or complete the full programme over time. Across four years, sixteen modules are offered, covering biblical studies, theology and church history, and practical ministry. Each module includes teaching sessions alongside the option of completing an essay, allowing you to study at a level that suits you.

Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of Scripture, grow in your faith, or be better equipped for service, Foundations offers a comprehensive and accessible pathway to theological learning within the life of the church.
