Our Beliefs & Values

These 12 core values formulated by the church leadership are ‘ideal’ statements that we endeavour to outwork in every aspect of our church life. We haven’t arrived yet, but we will continue to pursue them.

We value:

* Passion for Jesus Christ. We acknowledge Him as the head of our church and the reason for our existence. He is central to all we do and it is only through Him that we have a living relationship with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.

* The Bible to be the word of God and our final authority for rule and practice. We are a Bible believing and practising church, and we regard the Bible as a higher authority than the church.

* The Person of the Holy Spirit and we welcome his presence and power in our midst. We value the ministry (gifts) and the fruit (character) of the Spirit equally and we encourage each person to develop the fruit of the Spirit and to use the gifts for the building up of the church.

* Worship that is vibrant, dynamic, free, diversified, culturally sensitive and inclusive of all people groups, spirit led and God centered. Our heart is to see diversity in unity, to see all nations, tongues and tribes worshipping together and serving God with one purpose

* Prayer to under gird the direction, decision making and activities of our church. We value the supernatural power of God through signs, wonders and miracles. We encourage personal prayer, prayer in cell groups and in corporate gatherings

* Multiculturalism where conscious effort is made to breaking down dividing walls, bridging the gap, with genuine acceptance and love for people from all nations, race, culture, language, generation, education and financial status

* Continuous spiritual, emotional, numerical and financial growth The Lost Our goal is to reach lost people both near and far and influence our community for righteousness through evangelism, community work, missions and church planting.

* Commitment to the Community by serving, giving hope, encouragement and care to the underprivileged and disadvantaged , especially people from cultural diverse backgrounds including migrants and refugess, as we believe the church should be involved in the community, government and political arena as a vehicle and voice of righteousness and justice.

* Team Ministry, incorporating the diverse races, personalities, talents and spiritual gifts, the five fold ministry, where a servant’s attitude is exemplified.

* Supernatural Healings, Miracles, Signs & Wonders through the power of the Holy Spirit. We have declared that ICC is to be a sick free zone based on Exodus 23:25 – where God promised to keep his people healthy, where there will be no miscarriages or infertility among our people. We believe that our services must be presence driven services that are led and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

* Mutual affirmation, accountability, transparency, integrity and loyalty to one another

* Excellence & Professionalism in all aspects of our church – which does not mean perfection, but a commitment to improving and getting better at what we do.
