Ministries
ICA want you to find the ministry that best fits your spiritual needs and vision, and our goals are to thrust anyone or everyone beyond their old horizons and boundaries. We believe that God chooses ordinary people like you and me to be His hands, feet, and a reflection of His glorious light to not only fellow believers, but also to those still walking aimlessly around in the darkness, and so for us to function the way God intended us to, we must use the gifts God has given us, in the way He intended them to be used. We have a plethora of ministries where you can connect and find your spiritual fit.

Women’s Ministry
Women’s ministry is a specific focus on the spiritual growth, fellowship, and support of women within the church community. It aims to equip and empower women to live out their faith, cultivate their relationship with God, and fulfill their unique calling.
Bible verses that highlight the importance of women’s ministry and the value of women in God’s kingdom:
- Proverbs 31:30 (NIV): “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” This verse emphasizes that a woman’s worth lies in her reverence for God rather than external qualities.
- Titus 2:3-5 (NIV): “Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands so that no one will malign the word of God.” This passage encourages older women to mentor and guide younger women, teaching them about godly living and fulfilling their roles within their families and society.
- Proverbs 31:25 (NIV): “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” This verse depicts the strength, dignity, and resilience of a virtuous woman, showcasing her ability to face the future with confidence.
- 1 Peter 3:3-4 (NIV): “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” This verse emphasizes the importance of cultivating inner beauty and character, which holds eternal value in the sight of God.
Women’s ministry plays a crucial role in nurturing women’s faith, fostering relationships, and providing a space for growth, encouragement, and discipleship based on biblical principles.
Every month we have a Women’s service where women of all ages can gather, pray, and fellowship. We believe this is an integral part of creating support and community within the body of Christ.
