New here?
We’ve saved you a seat
Whether you have followed Jesus for decades or are simply curious, you are welcome. Here is what a first Sunday looks like.
Plan your visitSundays · 10:00 am
One service, about 90 minutes — singing, prayer and teaching from the Bible in English.
IBC Essen
Fischerstraße 4, in the city centre - a 10 minute walk from the train station. A greeter will meet you at the door and help you find a seat.
Children are welcome
A staffed children’s program runs during the service, and little ones are always welcome in the room.
What we believe
We are a people transformed through deep fellowship with God and each other.
The Word
We worship God by remembering the gospel through preaching, teaching, singing and prayer.
The Table
We celebrate baptism and communion as a people marked by the grace of Jesus.
The Body
Community is the context for discipleship. We belong not merely to a church, but to a people.
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations… And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19–20 (CSB)
Life together
Church is more than Sunday
Home groups across Essen, prayer meetings, a children’s program, and gatherings for women and men — the places where disciples are made.
