About Us

"What kind of a Church are we" We are a Bible believing church, that is, we believe that all of the Bibleis true. We believe that the book of Acts did not end with chapter 28, but this same church continues on today. We are interdenominational, that is, we welcome any Bible believing Christian regardless of his or her denomination. Of course, we are also eager to share with anyone who desires to know more about the Christian faith. We are a church that believes that God is Love, and look for opportunities to share the love and forgiveness which are found in Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ has died on the cross for our sins, and rose again to give us eternal life.

History

ICF Church , one of the largest churches in Hokkaido, was formed in July of 1990, under the loving leadership of Pastor Jerry Jantzen (U.S.A). Initially, It was comprised of three people: the Pastor, his wife and one believer, who received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the kitchen of the pastor's home. 20 years later, attendance has grown to a regular 230 people per service, and it continues to grow. New souls added every week, baptisms every month, healings and miracles. ICF presently has three branch churches in hokkaido which are overseen by the Pastor and the leaders of ICF; Hobetsu Christ Church (in the Hidaka Area), Iwamizawa Zion-Christ Church (between Sapporo and Asahikawa) and Otaru Bethel Church (Sea side and port Area) Based at the West Ward of Miyanosawa, adjacent to the Consadole Sapporo Football Ground, ICF is a vibrant congregation of believers who love the Lord with a passion, and long to see the entire nation come to salvation, and to that end the Church continues to intercede before God's throne of Grace.

Our Beliefs

WE BELIEVE… the entire Bible is inspired by God, without error and the authority on which we base our faith, conduct and doctrine. WE BELIEVE… in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to this earth as Savior of the world. WE BELIEVE… Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. We believe that salvation is found by placing our faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross. We believe Jesus rose from the dead and is coming again. WE BELIEVE… water baptism is a symbol of the cleansing power of the blood of Christ and a testimony to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. WE BELIEVE… in the regular taking of Communion as an act of remembering what the Lord Jesus did for us on the cross. WE BELIEVE… every believer should be in a growing relationship with Jesus by obeying God’s Word, yielding to the Holy Spirit and by being conformed to the image of Christ. WE BELIEVE… The metal did float (2Kings 6:6), the sun stood still (Joshua 10:12-13), this God is our God! WE BELIEVE… as children of God, we are not victims, but instead, in Christ we have become Victors.
