Mission and Vision
Wageningen is a place where many different cultures meet each other, because people from all over the world come to study or work at Wageningen University. The number of internationals is increasing each year. ICF is challenged to reach out to both Christian and non-Christian internationals. ICF is a bible based international community where internationals can meet each other and share their faith in Christ. ICF activities have an open character, everyone is welcome, whatever their cultural, religious or Christian denominational background. This open character allows for cultural diversity and diversity in experience of our Christian faith. Participants who are serious followers of Jesus can change into organizers quickly and easily.
What do we believe?
We rejoice in the central truths of Christianity as revealed in the Scripture, including:
- The unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Godhead;
- The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgement;
- The divine inspiration and entire trustworthiness of Holy Scripture, as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;
- The universal sinfulness and guilt of all men since the fall, rendering them subject to God's wrath and condemnation;
- Redemption from the guilt, penalty, dominion and pollution of sin, solely through the sacrificial death (as our representative and substitute) of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God;
- The bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead and his ascension to the right hand of God the Father;
- The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration;
- The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone;
- The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer;
- The one holy universal Church which is the body of Christ and to which all true believers belong;
- The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
