Regular Opportunities to Learn
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.
Life Class
Where we seek to learn, understand and put to practise the Word. Hear the stories of some who have experienced LifeClass for themselves and consider joining us on Friday nights at 7.30pm, all are welcome.
11am Sunday
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.
Daniel Fast
At that time, I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over.
Daniel 10:2-3 (NIV)
The Daniel Fast as the passage above indicates; is a partial fast. As a family of believers we partake in this fast every year at the end of January.
Journeying Through Acts
Throughout the first part of 2020 we will be exploring the book of Acts together as a church. Click here (or see below) to download booklets we will be producing as to help you Journey through Acts together.
Missions
To us at IIC, mission is a mentality not a location
Sending to the nations
Internationally we have sent Sharon who’s out in foreign nations helping to translate the bible into a local language so the people can read the scriptures for themselves.

We have connections with other fellowships of other language speakers, therefore we look to establish places where people of all different nations and languages feel welcome.
Chaplaincy
As part of our belief in mission, ministers are encouraged to be involved in a missional activity, Pastor David is serving on the chaplaincy in the University and at Suffolk New College, Pastor Harold has previously served as a chaplain to the hospital.
Local missions
We believe mission is a mentality not a location, we express this in various ways, including for example the soup where we go out and feed the homeless as a way of showing and sharing God’s love.

David Howe
Youth Leader
I began to believe in God for myself at the age of 10, before that I had grown up going to church but never really believed God or Jesus. I felt that they were just stories we heard about and church was something we just did as a family.
