Welcome to the online home of the International Congregational Fellowship

The International Congregational Fellowship is a vibrant global expression of a multiplicity of local Congregational churches and associational bodies across the world.  For Congregationalists, how our churches are organised and run have to reflect the principles and values that Jesus taught, and the pattern we find for church life and Christian leadership in the Bible.

 

Congregational churches do not exist in isolation but have traditionally formed free associations or networks.  ICF provides a global identity and a valuable opportunity for Congregationalists from all over the world to enjoy fellowship with one another.

 

On this website you can find out more about our International Family Conferences, about our ICF Youth, about the work of our Theological Commission, and our various publications.  Enjoy your visit here.  If you want to know more we will be pleased to hear from you.

ICF Members stunned by death of Steve de Gruchy

On 23rd February news that Steve had been involved in a rafting accident in South Africa and that his body was missing was rapidly circulated around the Fellowship.  On 24th February we learned that he was now formally presumed dead and that a funeral service would be held on Saturday afternoon 27th February.  Steve's body was subsequently found in the Mool River by police divers. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Adding New Languages

The ICF News Sheet is now available in Spanish thanks to former members of the Congregational Church in Herstmonceux, England.  It is hoped that the Latin America page of this website will go bi-lingual shortly, with news from the Region included.

 

We have hopes for translations of the News Sheet into Greek, Arabic and Korean before the end of the year!
