Ross Neill I was asked to become an ICM trustee in March 2024 and I’m hugely excited to be taking on the role! I’ve been involved in an ICM church in Dublin since moving to the city in 2021 so I have seen first hand the impact that ICM and its partner churches are having on the lives of many people here in Dublin and beyond as the Gospel is made known to them. Having grown up in Belfast, I have also had the privilege of being involved in Gospel-centred churches across the island and I share ICM’s desire to see the Gospel proclaimed in every community across Ireland. I’m looking forward to seei ..read more
