Celebration FAQ
General / Attending
Celebration is what we call our weekly service. Celebration because we want to celebrate our God together. That’s why it can be a bit loud, cheerful, and passionate. A little different from what you might be used to in a traditional church.
A celebration lasts about 90 minutes and consists mainly of worship, where we sing together, and a sermon, which should encourage you for your everyday life.
There is no dress code – you can come the way you dress in your free time and feel comfortable.
Admission is free of charge. There is a collection during each Celebration where you have the opportunity to make a voluntary donation. This can be done by putting cash in containers that are given through the rows, or online at icf.church/zuerich/en/giving. ICF is funded by voluntary donations.
Depending on the time of the Celebration, you can expect between 150 – 500 visitors.
You can expect music played and sung by our ICF Worship Team, a mix of self-written songs or songs from other well-known Christian music groups. The songs are a kind of sung prayer. On the ICF Worship YouTube channel you can see what it sounds and looks like. Everyone is allowed to sing along; the corresponding lyrics are displayed on the LED wall. Of course, you can also just listen and enjoy.
For the worship time which the ICF Worship Band plays, we are concerned to provide a good and powerful sound that is pleasant and inspiring. This requires a certain volume. If this is too loud for you, you are welcome to pick up free earplugs from one of our team wearing a white “Welcome Team” shirt.
You can also expect a light show to match the music.
Due to the large number of visitors, it will not be noticed if you are there for the first time. If you like and want to learn more about the church, you can join the Coming Home Group after each celebration, where you can learn more about ICF and the faith.
No, every person is welcome to attend the Celebrations at ICF.
Yes, besides the worship music, which is a kind of sung prayer, there is prayer every now and then. Those who wish can actively sing or pray along or just listen and enjoy.
After the Celebration we have a prayer team who will be happy to pray with you for your requests if you wish.
After each Celebration, the Coming Home Group is available to you; the place where you can learn more about ICF and the faith. There is a team there who will be happy to spend time with you. Otherwise, you can also get in touch with us via the contact form.
Every Sunday, parallel to the Celebrations on site, you can also experience them online as a livestream on our YouTube channels. To the YouTube channels.
You can experience the Celebrations in different languages. Every Sunday at 9:30 am in High German, at 11:30 am and 7 pm in Swiss German and at 5 pm in English. There is also a translation into other languages via headphones. You can find more information here.
Arrival
It is always worthwhile to allow enough time. Especially if you want to have a coffee, drop off your children at ICF Kids or just don’t want to miss the pre-program. In any case, it is worthwhile to be there 10-30 minutes before the start of the Celebration.
