Welcome to the IIC Family
We believe that we are church wherever we are, and whatever we are doing. Below are a number of events that are happening throughout the week. Join us in coming together to worship God.
On Thursday 22nd April 7:30pm leaders throughout the Ipswich area are gathering to explore the impact the Pandemic has had on the community.
During this online conference we will be discussing; Mental Health, Debt/Poverty, Education, Racial Equality, Addiction, Housing, Vulnerable Families, and Business and many more.
Join us as we hear from MP Tom Hunt, Roger Sutton, and Archdeacon, Rhiannon King.

IIC believe it’s important to meet within Relational Cells, however we appreciate that coming together as a group of individuals to a structured gathering is important too. We host a few regular items throughout the year in our calendar. Here are few you can get involved with today, alternatively find out more below.
As well as our daily morning prayer we’re also offering you the ability to join with us in daily reading, thinking and praying through various reflectional studies of books and themes throughout the bible.

Each year we partake in a church wide Daniel Fast, based from the passage in Daniel 10:2-3 NIV. As a church we have been undertaking three weeks of fasting and devotion working through a specially prepared booklet since 2015. We do this every year in January, however you can follow the booklets and fast at any point in the year. Our previous booklets can be found on our Daniel Fast page.
You can find our latest Daniel Fast 2021.
Our family service with children and youth groups. We worship, we pray and listen to practical teaching of God’s Word. The service which has been variously described as lively, dynamic and expressive holds in the newly renovated auditorium and often streamed live.

As a church and a family of believers we seek to be the following 5 key areas in our lives as individuals and as a part of Christ’s wider church as we go about making disciples and impacting nations.
We are family friendly, where people of all ages, backgrounds, live out life together. We do this as dispersed community in Relational Cells, and gathered celebrations on Sundays.
We are committed to lifelong learning where everyone is effectively discipled. We create environments where information, imitation and immersion happen.
We seek to live a contagiously generous lifestyle within the body and the local community. We do this by being generous with our time, talents and treasure.
We believe in being passionately mission minded wherever we are. We seek to reach the least, the last and the lost in our neighbourhoods, town and the nations.
We believe all the above are built upon the foundation of an intimate and intercessory walk with the Holy Spirit.
