Your Invitation
Immerse yourself in the ICF DNA. Learn key insights.
Get equipped to build your church.
The ICF Experience is our annual boot camp for new ICF Pastors and their Core Team. It is designed for teams in the first two years of their startup phase and all-new ICF Pastors are asked to join as their basic training. At the ICF Experience, the teams will be immersed in the ICF Culture and DNA, learn key insights, and get equipped with tools to build the local church. They explore the “Why behind the What” and experience what an ICF church should feel like.
This four-day program will be hosted by ICF Zurich and filled with inputs from ICF Movement key leaders, exciting highlights, and moments of fellowship. This intensive training will equip you to be ready for the exciting adventure of building God’s church!
We can’t wait to see you!

Unfortunately the ICF Experience program isn’t suitable for children.
Do you have a baby under 8 months old that needs to be breastfed and therefore needs to come along? We will have a separate room with a stream of the teaching sessions available for you. Other program elements aren’t suited for bringing a baby.
We desire for you to fully emerge yourself in the ICF Experience and therefore strongly advise to bring a nanny or organize care locally.
The regular offer we book for participants is a four bed dorm. There are a limited number of two-person bedrooms available. You can upgrade as long as there is space.
We will add the extra costs to your overall ICF Experience registration. We can’t guarantee a fixed price here because hostel prices will change closer to the event date.
The ICF Experience costs CHF 275 / EUR 249
We will sent you a bill after the ICF Experience, that needs to be paid within 30 days.
You will have the possibility to pay an extra amount for someone else to join the ICF Experience, that needs support.
