Children's Program

ICM uses children's teaching resources from John Piper's, Desiring God Ministries. This God-centered children's curriculum is taught to our children each Sunday in both the Vedano Al Lambro and Milano 3 congregations. We offer children's classes from birth to 12 and a youth class in the Milano 3 congregation. It is our desire to prepare the next generation of believers to truly know who God is, as He has revealed Himself in the Bible.

Young adults

The Young Adult group, made up of primarily International Students and young professionals meets weekly for bible study and fellowship.

The weekly studies meet in the city of Milan, and are an opportunity to study the Word in-depth with others young adults who are likely in a similar life-situation as yourself. These studies are currently held on Thursdays at 7pm. Each week we break bread together, and then take some time looking at what God has said to us in His Word. For more info, e-mail Adam or Heather.

Once a month (normally the last Saturday), we'll be hosting a seminar for the young women of the group. The seminars will be lead by leaders in the church on a variety of topics. Times and locations will vary, but we'll definitely share a meal together before the seminar. For more information, e-mail Adam or Heather. For other fellowships and events, stay tuned to the weekly e-mails, and if you're not on the list, let us know so we can add you!

Music Ministry

Worship is our response to God, giving Him the glory He alone deserves because of who He is and what He has done in our lives. While music and worship are not the same thing, God has ordained a unique relationship between them. Both through example and command, Scripture shows us the vital role music plays in the worship of God. Psalm 66:2 says we are to "sing the glory of His name; give to Him glorious praise." Music to the Christian is more than just the harmony of voice and instrument. It is a gift from God, part of life in the Church-body, and part of our expression to God; how we speak to Him, how we adore Him. Even in Heaven, music remains (Revelations 5:13).

The Music and Worship Ministry of ICM exists to glorify the Living God, by encouraging both the body and musicians to offer a sacrifice of praise to Him. Therefore, part of the work of this ministry is to train and mentor musicians who have a desire to use their gifts of music and technical abilities to honour and serve the Lord Almighty.

If you would like to serve in either a musical or technical capacity, contact music@icm-milan.org.

ESL (English as a Second Language)

Milan is an international city, rapidly changing in its ethnic composition. The English language is a common denominator for many Italians and internationals.
It is our hope to demonstrate to the community a practical example of God's love in teaching the English language, at minimum cost, to all who are interested. We trust this community service will open doors to share the testimony of the Biblical gospel of Jesus Christ.

If you would like to know more about it or be involved with this project please feel free to get in contact with us at chiesadm@gmail.com.

Italian work

ICM is a diverse fellowship of Christians from all over the world living in Italy. Participating in and ministering to the Italian culture is important to us. Our ultimate goal is to share the Biblical gospel of Jesus Christ with all who desire to hear it. Therefore, we are beginning the work of establishing Italian-speaking churches in the Milan area. We are currently involved in sharing the truth of God's Word through Bible studies, conferences, evangelistic activities, student ministries, simultaneous translation, etc.

If you would like to partner with us in sharing the Biblical gospel of Jesus Christ in Italy, please get in touch with us at chiesadm@gmail.com. Or click here to know more about it.

Youth

Our Youth mission statement flows from our general statement: To teach Youth about the supremacy of God in all things; to the glory of God Almighty, and for the joy of our Youth. We are committed to leading our Youth to a fuller understanding of who God is and who they are in relation to Him, as taught and revealed by His Word. We strive to disciple them towards maturity in Christ. We believe that God calls us to a sold-out commitment when it comes to the Lord Jesus Christ, and we seek to disciple Youth to live unhindered by the world; free to worship and adore Him, free to love one another, and free to live abundant and exuberant lives.

In pursuit of this mission, Youth at ICM seeks to minister to adolescents (ages 12-18) through Sunday School, bi-weekly fellowship meetings, monthly activities hosted by either ICM or our partner Youth Compass, and occasional large-scale events.
