About Us

International Christian Fellowship of Rome

The Full Story

ICF Rome began on Easter Sunday, 1988, with a commitment to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ and establish a faith community among the English-speaking foreign community of Rome. From a small beginning in an Italian church classroom, the ministry has expanded to include ethnic groups, Italians, and people from over 60 nations. This is a place where EVERYONE is welcome!

ICF has ministered to thousands of foreign visitors and local residents of Rome; from refugees to diplomats, from literally every part of the world. Today, ICF is composed of regular attenders from more than 60 nations. Since 1988, ICF has continually been involved in the partnering of ministries throughout Italy. Bible schools have been established for the training of church leaders and pastors. Fellowship has developed with Italian churches and joint ministry projects are continually expanding the love of Jesus to Italy.

In 2008 ICF moved to a more permanent location in the heart of the Marconi zone of Rome, where ministry happens throughout the week. Today, the place is full of life changing opportunities for loving, leading and serving. Pastor Rick and Pastor Jen arrived in August of 2014 and have a vision to equip you for life!

Prayer groups, Bible study groups, children’s ministries, music and worship teams, men’s, women and young adult groups all use the ministry center during the course of the week. Evangelism training and discipleship classes are conducted on a regular basis. The ministry center provides compassion outreach, life skills mentoring, and Gospel literature for distribution in many languages. There is something for every age, every demographic and this is a place YOU can belong!
