Children's Program
ICM uses children's teaching resources from John
Piper's, Desiring God Ministries.
We offer children's classes from birth to 12
and a youth class.
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.
These studies are currently
held on Thursdays at 7:30pm. 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 Tyler or Jessica.
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 Tyler Stewart.
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 ICM.italiano@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 ICM.italiano@gmail.com.

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, and occasional
large-scale events.
