ICC Imara

Welcome to ICC Imara — A Place to Belong

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24–25

Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

It is our great joy to welcome you to International Christian Centre–Imara, a vibrant and growing community of believers where God’s love impacts generations.

At ICC Imara, we believe that everyone matters, everyone is valued, and everyone has a place. Whether you are taking your first steps of faith, returning to church after some time away, searching for answers, or seeking a spiritual family in which you can grow and serve, you are warmly welcome.

‘Everyone belongs. We all belong’.

Our faith is firmly founded upon Jesus Christ. We believe that He is the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, and the sure foundation upon which every life can be built. Through the faithful teaching of God’s Word, prayer, worship, fellowship and the work of the Holy Spirit, our desire is to help people encounter Christ, grow in spiritual maturity and live lives that reflect His love and truth.

Our mission is:
‘Connecting people to God and to one another,
Challenging believers towards Christlikeness,
and Changing our world through the transforming power of the Gospel’.

Since becoming an independent congregation in April 2017, ICC Imara has continued to experience God’s remarkable faithfulness. We have witnessed growth across our ministries, the strengthening of families, the development of leaders and the spiritual transformation of children, young people and adults.

We are an intergenerational church with a special passion for reaching the urban community. Our congregation includes children, teenagers, university students, young professionals, families and senior adults. Together, we are learning what it means to follow Jesus faithfully in our homes, workplaces, schools and communities.

Our Next Generation ministries provide a safe, joyful and Christ-centred environment where children and young people can discover God’s love and grow in faith. These include our children’s ministry (below 13yrs), Teenz ministry (14 – 17yrs) and iFrontrunners (Young Adults ministry, 18 – 24yrs).

We are committed to presenting the unchanging message of the Gospel in ways that are relevant, engaging and understandable to every generation.

We would be delighted to have you worship with us during our Sunday services at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. You may also join our online community through our live Sunday services.

Families with young children are especially welcome. Our children’s ministry teams are prepared to care for and teach your children the Word of God in age-appropriate and engaging ways. Our sanctuary also includes a well-equipped crèche for parents with infants, allowing them to participate in the service while comfortably caring for their babies.

Church is more than attending a Sunday service—it is about belonging to a loving spiritual family. We therefore encourage everyone to become part of a Connect Group, where you can build meaningful friendships, study God’s Word, receive prayer and encouragement, and grow together with others.

As you explore our website, we hope you will discover more than information about our church. We pray that you will discover a community where you can encounter Jesus, find genuine relationships, grow in your God-given purpose and make a difference in the world.

We would love to meet you, hear your story and walk with you on your journey of faith. We believe that your life has value, your gifts have a purpose and that God may have brought you to ICC Imara for such a time as this.

Welcome home.
