global missions fellowship (GMF)

We are so thankful to have many in our church community who have felt God's stirring or call upon their hearts & lives to move toward global missions full-time.  Many others are seeking to learn more and find their fit.  We have an intentional community and discipleship program designed to provide needed encouragement, exploration, community and equipping with a view toward sending: GMF. 


It is our hope that God will bless and use this group to send many, many from ICC into the world to serve the needy and share the grace and love of Christ.   Interested in more information?  READ MORE BELOW.

GMF community

Some details:

  • At its heart, GMF is an intentional community of people who gather regularly for the purpose of exploration and growth in Global Missions.
  • GMF began because of a need and desire to help ICC members prepare to go long-term to the mission field.  However, we have expanded it to be inclusive of people who in many stages of the global missions journey. 
  • We believe that GMF is best suited for three groups: (1) People called toward long-term vocational missions (2) People looking to find their fit in Global Missions and (3) People desiring to learn more and grow in the area of Global Missions.
  • GMF meets the first Friday of every month on Mud Island.
  • Whether you are early in the exploration process or ready to pack-up tomorrow and go, we invite you to join this group!

  • Cultivating a Heart for the World

  • Growing in Personal Next Steps
  • Encouraging Cultural Exposure

Our group times are organized around things like: casual conversations and fellowship, learning about and praying for specific people groups, engaging cultural experiences, and deep group discussions about various global missions topics.
