Intercultural Leadership

ICF-Noord is a young church that was founded in 2019 under the leadership of an intercultural team, with Fred Kappinga as its pioneer. Today, Fred continues to serve as pastor together with a team of elders. As church council, the pastor and elders share the responsibility of guiding the church in worship, teaching, and service. In addition, a group of ministry coordinators help to oversee the different ministries, so that ICF-Noord can be a welcoming place where everyone feels at home and can grow in faith.
