India Christian Fellowship
Our greatest desire is to help people know Christ and fully receive His love.
A threefold mission
The main purpose of our church is to glorify God by pointing people to Jesus Christ, who alone is sufficient for our every need. In response to His love, we have a threefold mission.
Love God
To love God with all of our hearts, minds, and lives. In our gatherings we have four priorities: worshipping God in song, teaching the Word of God, seeking God in prayer, and breaking bread to remember His death and resurrection.
Love others
To love each other as members together in God's family, through fellowship, friendship, and service. We want everyone who attends ICF to know they are loved and needed.
Love the world
To share the gospel in our communities and city, and to carry the good news of Jesus Christ to all the earth.

Statement of faith
We believe…
- There is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all things.
- God the Father is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. God is absolutely holy and righteous. His love and mercy was manifested in the atoning death of His begotten Son on Calvary.
- In our Lord Jesus Christ: His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His crucifixion for our sins, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to Heaven, and His second coming in power and glory.
- The scriptures of the Old and New Testament are verbally inspired by God, inerrant and infallible in their original writings, and the supreme and final authority for faith and practice.
- In the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ for ministry.
- In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the exercise of all the biblical gifts of the Spirit, used in a proper and orderly manner, in love and without causing division. Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and empowers believers for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
- Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from the works of law. It is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.
- All people are sinners by nature and choice and are therefore under condemnation; God regenerates by the Holy Spirit those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
- In the laying on of hands for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, for ordination of pastors, elders, and deacons, and for receiving from the Holy Spirit through the believer the gift of healing.
- In the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are a part.
- The Lord Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances for the church: full-immersion water baptism of believers, and the Lord's Supper.
- Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God.
- In the pre-tribulation rapture of the church and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, His personal, visible return to earth and the establishment of His millennial kingdom; in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal blessing of the righteous and the endless separation of the wicked.
