About us

Our History:

In 1993, Brian Cross, a University of Michigan student, and three Indonesian students in Ann Arbor founded a Bible Study group. Through God’s blessing, the group grew tremendously in number hosting approximately 30 University students. Most of the students were from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Taiwan. After careful considerations,the name Indonesian Christian Fellowship (ICF) was given to this rather young fellowship, whose goal was to share the Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

In time, the leaders of the fellowship graduated and the impact was clearly felt as ICF quickly reduced in number. Fortunately, the remaining four members did not lose heart nor faith in their Everlasting God. Through immense help from ICC Toronto, ICF survived and slowly regained its momentum. Learning from past devastation, the leaders of ICF realized the need to form a church and receive guidance from a parent church. Thus, in April 4, 1999, by the grace of God, Indonesian Christian Fellowship (ICF) Ann Arbor became Indonesian Christian Church (ICC) Ann Arbor, under the supervision of ICC Canada.

As the church grew, its circle of congregation also grew. In an effort to reach out to the Indonesian community outside of Ann Arbor, ICC-AA moved its weekly service location from Trotter House in Ann Arbor to the First Baptist Church in Plymouth in the winter of 2003. The move enabled ICC-AA to cater to college students, young professionals and families outside Ann Arbor, hence ICC-AA became known as ICC Michigan.

A couple of years later, realizing the need for children Sunday School, ICC Michigan then moved again to its current location at Living Word Church in Plymouth in the summer of 2005. Due to the growth of Living Word Church, Indonesian Christian Church moved a new location at Trinity Presbyterian Church at Plymouth, MI.  It is only by God's grace that ICC Michigan can utilize Trinity Presbyterian Church as its place to worship and is still meeting regularly now to bring an impact to the Indonesian community in Michigan. So let His will be done and His Kingdom come in this earth as it is in Heaven.

Our Vision

  • We believe in the authority of the Holy Bible (II Timothy 3:16).
  • We believe in the Eternal Godhead Who has revealed Himself as One God existing in Three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 2:13-14).
  • We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis, man’s total depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness (Romans 5:12,18).
  • We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remissions of sins (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12; Romans 5:11).
  • We believe in Jesus Christ as the only Savior to restore the fullness of The Kingdom of God and its calling in us. (John 14:16).
  • We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit as a person of the Godhead Three in One (John 14:15-17,26; I Corinthians 12:14).
  • We believe in the ministry of the local church, as an institution and embassy of The Kingdom on earth. We believe in the sacraments instituted by Christ (I Corinthians 11:28-32).
  • We believe in the eternal life and death within the second coming of the King of kings, Jesus Christ.(Mark 9:43-48; II Thessalonian 1:9; Revelation 20:10-15).
