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. Fred continues to lead the church as pastor, working alongside a team of 16 ministry leaders. Each leader is responsible for one or more ministries, making the church a welcoming place where everyone can feel at home and grow in faith.

Meet Fred and Henny Kappinga

We’d like to introduce you to Fred and Henny Kappinga. Fred serves as our pastor and is married to Henny.

Fred studied theology in Ede and Kampen. Before stepping into pastoral ministry, he spent 20 years working in the corporate sector. He later served as a neighbourhood pastor in Rotterdam’s Crooswijk area for nine years. Henny works as a family support coach with The Salvation Army in Rotterdam North.

Fred and Henny live on the vibrant Zaagmolenstraat, right in the heart of Rotterdam’s Oude Noorden. Their family is completed by their two adult children, Luca with her husband Hermen and Max.
