About International Gospel Church

If you are searching for a bible-based, spirit-filled fellowship of believers with vision, then you are searching for International Gospel Church (IGC). IGC is a multi-cultural, multinational and multi-denominational fellowship of believers from different backgrounds. We intend to reach all peoples for our Lord Jesus Christ wherever we find ourselves. Here in Muenster, Germany we want to reveal God's love and compassion, and to proclaim the Good News about Christ.

Statement of Faith

God …
in the one God, creator and sustainer of all things, infinite in love, perfect in judgments and unchanging in mercy. God exists eternally in three persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit;

Scripture …
in the divine inspiration, truthfulness and authority of both the Old and New Testaments, the only written Word of God, without error in all it affirms. The Scriptures are the only infallible rule of faith and practice. The Holy Spirit preserves God's Word in the church today and by it speaks God's truth to peoples of every age;

Humankind …
that human beings were created in the image of God. This image was marred in every part through the disobedience of our first parents, and fellowship with God was broken. God, by His prevenient grace, restores moral sensibility to all humankind and enables all to respond to His love and to accept His saving grace, if they will;

Jesus Christ …
that Jesus Christ is God's Son who became flesh, born of the Virgin Mary. He died for the sins of all, taking on Himself, on behalf of sinful persons, God's judgment upon sin. In His body He rose from the grave and ascended to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for us;

Holy Spirit
… that the Holy Spirit is God present and active in the world. The Holy Spirit was given to the church in His fullness at Pentecost. By the Spirit, Christ lives in His church, the gospel is proclaimed and the kingdom of God is manifested in the world;

Justification
… that God graciously justifies and regenerates all who trust in Jesus Christ. Believers become children of God and begin to live in holiness through faith in Christ and the sanctifying Spirit;

Assurance of Believers
That believers are assured that they are children of God by the inward witness of God's Spirit with their spirits, by faith in the gracious promises of God's Word, and by the fruit of the Spirit in their lives;

Christian Life
… that Christians are called to live in daily witness to the grace which comes to us in Jesus Christ, to preach the gospel to every person according to the command of Christ, and to declare God's insistence upon righteousness and justice in all relationships and
structures of human society;

The Church
… that the church is the people of God composed of all those who believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. The church is Christ's body; it is visible in the world wherever believers, in obedience of faith, hear the Word, receive the sacraments, and live as disciples;

Return of Christ
… in the personal return of Jesus Christ, in final judgment, and in eternal reward and punishment; God's Ultimate Victory … in God's ultimate victory over Satan and all evil and the establishment of His perfect kingdom in a new heaven and a new earth.
