It is a parish comprised of many nationalities from around the world. We are diverse communities united in one body of Christ. We are situated just off of Sheikh Zayed road beside the village of Jebel Ali in the emirate of Dubai. It is easily accessible from The Gardens/Ibn Battuta mall and from the Jebel Ali village interchanges. View our location map.
