Who are we?
The ICG (International Church of Grenoble) is a Christian Church open to everyone, no matter where you are in your journey.
Our Values
Unity: The International Church of Grenoble recognizes diversity among Christians in nonessential areas. We do not press for uniformity in these areas, but rather encourage people to search the Scriptures, seeking balance, mutual understanding, humility and love. Additionally, we seek to respect one another’s differences without a quarrelsome, arrogant or divisive spirit, and to return continually to the great commandment, to love God and one another.
1 Corinthians 1:10-13, Romans 14:1-15:7, 16:17, 2 Timothy 2:14-17, 23-26, James 3:13-17, Philippians 2:1-5
Community: We express our strong value of community by seeking to reach out and connect with a diversity of people. We want to be personal and caring in a world that is increasingly fragmented and impersonal. We are not afraid to be vulnerable, human, and honest with each other. We believe our spirituality fulfills rather than denies our humanity, and we believe this approach strengthens community. We believe that the one, holy, universal Church is the body of Christ, composed of all regenerate people. This redeemed community worships God and seeks to proclaim the Good News to all people.
John 15:12, Acts 2:42-47, Romans 12:3-18, Galatians 6:1-5, 10, Colossians 4:5-6, 2 Timothy 4:1-5

Our Statement of Faith
About God
We believe in one God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified for the sins of us all, was buried, rose again from the dead, ascended to heaven and will return in power and glory.
About the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit, sent from God to live inside all who believe in Jesus Christ, teaches, comforts, and empowers us, giving each follower diverse gifts, fostering unity, interdependence and seeks to conform us into the image of Christ.
About the Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and accept it as the standard of truth for Christian beliefs and living.
About Salvation
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship by the sinful nature and through sinful disobedience. Salvation comes to people based on God´s grace through their faith in Jesus alone. They receive the free gift of forgiveness and are spiritually reborn and restored to relationship with God through repenting of their sin and believing in Jesus Christ.
About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ; a community of believers of which Jesus Christ is the head. The purpose of the church is to glorify God and make Him known through their love for others and obedience to Christ.
