Mission & Vision
Mission:
Planting, developing, supporting, facilitating and connecting new Intercultural Churches in Europe.
Vision:
Having reached out to 1 million Europeans with the Gospel in Europe in 2035 by planting 1000 new Intercultural Churches.
As followers of Jesus, we stand on the shoulders of great heroes of the past. We admit our limitations, in awareness that we are part of a global church and stand in a history of 2000 years Christianity. That is why we want to underline our dependence on the wisdom of those who have gone before us. Our theology and ethical position is not determined by what people in our time and age think and believe in the context of a Western mindset, but it is much broader. ICP Europe confirms the Nicene Creed, the Apostles’ Creed and the Athanasian Creed. We also recognize ourselves in the Basis of Faith of the Evangelical Alliance and the New City Catechism.
