Jesus’ restoration of Peter in John 21 shows us that God does not allow our past experiences of serving to have the final word, but heals and restores us for continued service in his name.

Summary: We often fail to experience true, biblical joy because we allow our circumstances, our fears, and our forgetfulness to rob us of the joy the gospel brings. But when we worship the God who sees and saves us, and trust that through our brokenness, He will bless the world -- we can experience the fullness of joy that can only be found in Christ in any situation of life.

True peace rests entirely on the promised arrival of the King, Jesus Christ, who enters our world as a child to grow, live, die, and resurrect to become our ultimate and eternal Shalom.

Because of sin, our pride and fear cause us to naturally divide into tribes. But God has called us into a unity under the lordship of Christ Jesus that destroys all the man-made barriers sin creates and brings the kingdom of heaven to earth.

Jesus calls us out of a life turned inward on ourselves and transforms us into people who pour ourselves out in self-giving love, joining him in acts of service, compassion, and reconciliation in our neighborhoods, our nation, and to the ends of the earth.

Real discipleship happens when every believer is both a giver and receiver of ministry--building one another up in love and practicing mutual edification in worship. We trust in the work of the Holy Spirit and the leaders that Jesus has gifted to the church to equip every saint for this work of ministry.

We value the power of opening our lives to one another through a spirit of both hospitality and vulnerability.

We value the Lord’s Supper not only as a reminder of the reconciliation with God that Jesus secured for us through his death, but also as a call to extend friendship, forgiveness, and welcome to one another as brothers and sisters in God’s family.

We value Scripture as the ultimate authority for our lives, trusting that only by applying God’s wisdom and truth to every part of life can we experience the abundant living that Jesus promises.

​At ICC we value the inner transformation of our hearts through the work of the Spirit and the practice of spiritual disciplines which lead us into greater dependence on God.

We declare the worth and glory of God through our wholehearted worship.

By receiving the transformative gaze of Jesus, we are freed from our own blindness and empowered to become agents of healing who truly see others.

Sacred spaces shape the people who gather in them. Our new building can be that kind of place—forming us to live out the vision God has entrusted to us.

In raising Lazarus, Jesus offers the final sign in John’s gospel, showing that death has no power over him and foreshadowing his own resurrection, which brings the hope of eternal life to the world.

As God leads us into roads unknown to us He calls us to remember that He goes ahead of us, works within us and walks beside us.

As our shepherd, Jesus offers us a place of total security and acceptance, leading us to paths of abundant life. As sheep our response is to put our total trust in his leadership.

What does it really mean to be citizens of God’s Kingdom—not just enjoying the blessings, but living out the responsibilities of it? Let us explore Jesus’ call to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and discover the promise that frees us from worry as we follow Him.

We often struggle to walk in the power of our new life in Christ, because we are prone to forget who we are in Jesus. But God invites every new believer to be baptized, so that we might live out the reality of our new identity in Christ, within the covenant community of Christ.
