( Love Our City )

A group of diverse young people and one adult standing together in an alley, smiling for a photo. Most are wearing black T-shirts with the phrase 'GIVE YOUR ALL' printed on them. They are dressed casually, some in jeans, others in shorts or overalls, and they appear to be friends or participants in an event.

Vibe Church

Our relationships in Northern Ireland led us to meet Darryl and Nikki Bain, pastors of a church in the heart of Armagh City called Vibe Church—which stands for Vision, Integrity, Boldness, and Evangelism.

What began as a young adult group in 2006 continued to grow as God expanded their vision. Vibe purchased their current building and launched their first Sunday service in the spring of 2015.

For the past 10 years, our friendship with Darryl, Nikki, and the Vibe family has continued to draw us back year after year. Each summer, Vibe hosts an “I Heart Armagh” week focused on serving their city through children’s programs, neighborhood clean-up projects, and a community fun day. Lastleaf has partnered with Vibe by bringing teams to serve alongside them during this week.

Join us this summer as we continue our long-standing partnership with Vibe Church to reach and serve the city of Armagh.
