Advent - Peace

Today is the second Sunday of Advent, the four-week period leading up to Christmas. It is a time of expectation.

Jesus is called the "Prince of Peace" yet, at the time of His birth, Israel was trapped under Roman oppression and the very same was true about Jesus' lifetime. But what we find about the peace Jesus brings is one that goes deeper than outward circumstances. This is the peace we discover through Advent and, as we'll see in a testimony from Ilja, continues to this very day.

Donations

ICF-Noord is an active missional church whose members cannot fully support the entire budget on their own. Donations made in solidarity with the work in the city are therefore greatly appreciated. Thank you! Join the mission of ICF-North

Baptism and Profession of Faith Course 

Are you considering taking the next step in your faith, through baptism or public profession of faith? Our next baptism and profession of faith service will take place at Easter, on 5 April 2026. You’re warmly invited to join the preparation course, even if you’re not yet sure. During the course, you’ll have time to explore, reflect, and make your decision. If you’d like to take part or simply learn more, please contact Pastor Fred.
