Come to a place

At ICL, we aim to be

"an international church family where people can be real with a simple passion for God and others"

This statement reflects our core values:

Real – a group of people who aim to be genuine in actions and attitudes. Be people who seek to be open and honest in exploring Christian faith together and its relevance for our everyday lives. Be those who want to be authentic in learning what it means to follow Jesus Christ and be led by His Spirit in us.

Family – a church where all ages are welcome and where people are part of a relational community from many nations. 

Simple – a style of church that is straight forward and uncomplicated whilst being relevant for life in the 21st Century.

Passion - individuals whole hearted in their relationship with God and in exploring and growing in gifting. Being people with love for one another; and to serve and impact the community around us and the wider world with the grace and truth found in Jesus Christ.

ICL began in 2004 in the home of Tim and Marketa Southerland who were here serving as missionaries from the USA (Assemblies of God World Missions). Tim sensed as the first pastor that a key Bible phrase for the church was "a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendour" (Isaiah 61:3b). We continue to walk with this as a foundational Scripture for ICL's existence.

As an international church, the make up of our community has many different nationalities. We use English as a common language though all of our kids ministry and younger youth is bi-lingual with Dutch as the other language.

We are part of the local church in the Leiden area and desire to serve alongside others to see this area impacted by Jesus Christ. Partnering includes through the Leaders Prayer Network, Serve the City and HiP.

A heart for mission means a concern for our community but also for elsewhere in the Netherlands and in other countries.

We are a member of the VPE, a network of Pentecostal/Evangelical churches in the Netherlands. We are also a partner church in the Fellowship of European International Churches(www.feic.org) To see our simplified statement of faith, click on We believe.
