CELEBRATIONS ON-SITE WITH THE NEW REGULATIONS
ONE CHURCH – MANY ROOMS
Good News: Even with the new guidelines, you still have the opportunity to experience the church on-site in Zurich. In the area around the Samsung Hall, we have various options to meet in different settings with 50 people. We celebrate our celebrations in different rooms with their own flair – at the usual times. There is something for every taste!
In our new Church App Booklet, you can find the various offers and register for them. Depending on availability, we encourage you to attend a celebration at the ICF at an unusual time if your favorite time is already fully booked.
Do you prefer to stay at home and join in online? Our online offers enable you to create an individual celebration experience alone or with family and friends.
Whether live on-site or online – we remain connected as a Church Family and are full of expectation and hope to experience Jesus particularly powerfully at this time!

CELEBRATIONS NOW WITH MASKS
From this weekend, mask compulsory from 13 years of age will be required in our church services in the Samsung Hall. This whenever you are on the go or when you sing. If you are sitting you can take off the mask.
In consultation with the canton, we looked for the best solution for everyone so that we could meet, but still nobody had to expect quarantine. Therefore masks. Again something historical at ICF!
Bring your own mask – we look forward to seeing you 😷😎👋

WELCOME TO CHURCH – NO MORE PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED – CONTACT TRACING ON-SITE
From this weekend on (12.-14. June 2020), you can easily and spontaneously come to our ICF Zurich worship services in the Samsung Hall. It is no longer necessary to register in advance. Nevertheless, we ensure at all events that contact tracing is guaranteed. You can easily register on-site with your smartphone via icf.ch/tracing. If you do not have a smartphone, there will also be an option to register yourself on a physical contact card.*
In the Samsung Hall, we are able to hold three spatially separate events in parallel. So we have enough space for everyone. You can experience the celebration as you are used to in the large hall: loud, joyful, and passionate. Or in the Loft on the 2nd floor with live worship, sermon streamed live from the hall, sunlight, and a cozy atmosphere.
With the new regulations, we also have more places for all children, so you can easily bring your children along for the 9:30 am and 11:30 am celebration. It is best to come early enough to check in the children and not to miss the pre-show 15 minutes before the start of the celebration.
We look forward to welcoming you on-site again!

Our heartbeat
As a church, it is our passion for people to become more like Jesus Christ, live fearlessly and have a positive influence on their world.
In this special time, let’s give a hopeful perspective in our environment and help where we can.
«For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.»
2 Timothy 1:7 – The Bible
We also celebrate via live stream Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. He wants to meet you personally during this time, so watch the live stream with this expectation. Every fate of people who have been infected by the Corona Virus or suffer from other diseases affects us. We pray for those who suffer partially economically from the consequences of the measures for God’s care and peace. As a church, we want to be a voice of hope, encouragement and faith at this time when fear and insecurity are spreading. Jesus is the victor and continues to write amazing stories with individual people – such as you!
