International Church Plants (ICP) is a Dutch church planting network, which strongly focuses on planting churches in a intercultural society.
It is our dream that all over the world new churches are going to be planted which reflect the variety of cultures around. Although many church planters advocate homogeneous units in churchplanting, ICP reckons this approach to be too one-sided. ICP believes that it is possible to plant churches where both the unity as well as the variety of cultures is being expressed.

In the Netherlands ICP has already proven that its approach is successful. More than 20 new intercultural churches have been founded with the help and support of ICP. These intercultural churches found the right way to reach out to a large number of ethnic groups. We have seen quite a number of Kurds, Chinese, Africans and others come to faith. Each ethnic group will have its own cultural gathering while at the same time we unite these groups in leadership, in a Sunday celebration and other ways.

ICP has faith that it has developed some methods and strategies that could be very helpful in other cities all over the world as well.

Right now ICP mainly focuses on the Netherlands. If however you sense opportunities for intercultural churchplanting, please contact us. We would love to be in touch, to Skype, to connect and see how we could support one another.
