International Christian Fellowship

ICF is a world church, made up of people from all nations. Half of them are Dutch, the other half are non-Dutch in origin. A multi-cultural group just like the city of Rotterdam. The faith, love, and hope of Jesus unite us and make us one family. During the week many of our international people get together in ethnic groups. ICF is a Christian church, following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. The Bible to us is the Word of God. This powerful collection of ancient writings gives deep wisdom, offers guidance in our lives and shows us the way of salvation. Our young multi-cultural church has been part of the Christian Reformed churches since 2002. A warm, Christian community is one of our most important characteristics. People feel at home in ICF. Often we heard reactions such as: "I have found a new family". It is our dream to be a place where people from all countries are one by faith, where they find a home and shelter, family and perspective. God is love. We want to see this love flow. We want to maintain meaningful relationships with others, relationships with mutual love, spontaneity and support. Most of our members attend a home-group during the week. It is easier to get to know each other in these small groups. We share our lives, have fun, pray, study the Bible and support each other. Jesus loved everybody, none excepted. In our fast-growing social project "House of Hope" we make the love for the city concrete. You can go here with questions and find assistance in dealing with money, housing, etc.
