International Friendship Community (IFC)

International Friendship Community (IFC) is a vibrant, welcoming space where people from all nations and backgrounds come together to build friendships, explore Christianity, and share life.

  • IFC on Sunday Mornings at 9:30 – We build friendships while exploring the Bible, God, and Christianity together. Christians and non-Christians of all backgrounds welcome! 

  • IFC Community Group - Another opportunity for building relationships both with other international friends and Americans is our Community Group that meets weekly, usually on Wednesday evenings.
