Experience Genuine Relationships
ICF is a big church. However, you are not just another face in the crowd. A Small Group is the best place for you to get to know people and grow in your relationship with God.
Become part of a Small Group
A group of people (men, women or mixed), usually between 3-12 people, who, in addition to our Celebrations, meet to get to know each other better and share their everyday life and faith. They encourage and strengthen each other to grow in their relationship with God, with other people, and with themselves.
Each group has a different style, focus, or heartbeat. Some eat together, others spend time outdoors. You come into relationship with people, there is time for personal conversation, to deepen a topic from the Sunday sermon, the Bible or a book and for prayer.
Fellowship, experiencing God and growth are our common values.
The easiest way is to talk to people you know in ICF and ask them if they will let you check out their Small Group. The Coming Home Group every Sunday after the local celebrations can also help you find a suitable group. Or you can register directly online via this link.
Often the meeting place is alternately in the participants’ homes, or outside, in a café or other suitable location.
It varies, but most groups meet weekly or every fortnight. Some on Sundays or during the week.
Are you or have you been part of an ICF group and would like to start a new small group? Attend the ICF Leadership Training (two Wednesday evenings or online). Then find two people who would like to start a new group with you. Then simply get in touch with us and we will be happy to meet with you to give you the best possible support and guidance in starting your group.
