Youth Ministry

Welcome to the Youth page! 

Our deepest desire for you in a nutshell

We want to lead you to know and grasp the love of God with all your heart, so you may boldly pursue the person of Jesus Christ, that you may live for Him and inspire others by the power of the Holy Spirit to do the same.

2024/2025 is crammed with events you don’t want to miss. Our events and youth group meetings are the perfect chance to get together with friends, get some headspace, and get closer to God.

We meet on Fridays for youth group (schedule below). You will dive into God’s Word with us and experience spiritual truths in a fresh way. Through open and thoughtful discussions, we want to answer the questions you may have regarding God, faith, and challenges you face living for Christ. And we are eager get to know each other better, pray with one another, share praises and prayer requests, worship in spirit and in truth and become closer friends as we meet regularly.

For information on events and meetings register for youth group here!


As youth there are different pathways for you to engage and grow in Christ at ICF. Some of them are:

  • Sunday school / Sunday Service
    All Youth (grades 7-13) remain in the Sunday Service. We’d like to sit together in the sanctuary and discuss the sermon together for ca. 15-20 minutes after the service. We meet in the family room (through the kitchen then follow the corridor straight ahead).
  • ICF Youth Bible Study: 8th – 13th grade
    Youth group from grade 8-13 meets in the cafeteria the first three Fridays of every month from 19:00-21:00. Check out the schedule because there are exceptions due to events, holidays and school breaks.
  • ICF Mustard Seed: 7th grade
    Because of the growing number in our youth, we have a brand-new program for all youth in 7th grade! Our newly minted program, “Mustard Seed” will be happening at the same time and same place as the Youth Bible Study (Fridays, 19:00-21:00). You will still be joining the youth group for games and worship, but then they will break-out into your own separate curriculum, which will be about the theological foundations of our faith. Due to the newness of the program, expect that the schedule may change. For now, Mustard Seed happens the first two Fridays of every month. Register for Mustard Seed here !
  • ICF Prayer and Worship Evenings
    We’d like to encourage all youth to join the church-wide prayer evening which is generally held on the last Friday of every month.
  • Best way to stay informed is to sign-up for our newsletter. Please contact us if you wish to be included.
