Our Vision & Mission
WHO ARE WE?
We are a fast growing dynamic multicultural cell church in the heart of Brisbane City. We have three services on Sunday – Service 1 – 9am (English speaking) & Service 2 -11:30am (Mandarin/ Cantonese with English translation available) and service 3 is a Faith & Healing service at 6pm where our prayer team will pray for anybody who is sick and needs healing in the name of Jesus.
The main languages in our Sunday Celebration Services are English, Mandarin/Cantonese, Spanish (translation into these languages can be arranged). Once every month (the first Sunday of the month) we have a Combined Celebration service, in which all congregations from all our services gather together to praise and worship God. More languages are used throughout our various cell groups that meet during the week, mostly on Friday and saturday nights.
OUR VISION
is to build a Dynamic Multicultural Cell Church Impacting the Nation and Beyond.
God has called our church to be a model multicultural church that will “Breaking Down Dividing Walls” that separate people from becoming one body in Jesus Christ.
We believe that God has called our church to be a place of commanded blessing (Psalm 133) where lives are transformed by the power and work of the Holy Spirit as one body in Jesus Christ. We are “Many Faces, Many Races, from Many Places Living as One.”
We see a vibrant Multicultural Cell Church with people from all nations, races, colours, cultures languages and status.
We see a Christ Centered Community where all barriers have been broken down and where people fellowship together as one in Jesus Christ.
We see a New Generation of Faith people committed to rise up as disciples of Jesus Christ worshipping serving and extending His kingdom.
We have declared ICC to be a “SICK FREE ZONE” (based on Exodus 23:25) as we believe in the healing power of Jesus Christ.
OUR MISSION is to Bridge, Bring, Build and Broadcast the good news of Jesus Christ.
“PEOPLE OF FAITH RISE UP FROM CITY TO CITIES BREAKING DOWN DIVIDING WALLS”
Our International Community Care program works in conjunction with the Multicultural Community Centre to break down walls and build bridges in the multicultural communities of Australia. We host morning tea for local nursing homes, as well as, run aged-care and hospitality training programs for a diversity of people from different communities.
