Ministries
Missions
The Missions Team is all about helping the church fulfill its mission: “To reach the nations and make disciples”. We host a variety of events throughout the year like Cultural Sunday, Sommerfest, and Thanksgiving Dinner, where we try to reach people from all nations in the Düsseldorf area.
Please contact missions@ibcd.de to learn about the next event.
Home Groups
Home groups at IBCD provide an opportunity for closer fellowship. In the small groups there is the opportunity to study the word of God together and live life together. A chance to grow in our love for God and for one another.
There are several home groups in and around Düsseldorf, so you are welcome to pick the closest one to you to attend.
For further information, please contact: homegroups@ibcd.de
Young Adults
Young adults is our group where young adults (age 18-35) get together regularly to share what God is teaching us in our lives and to connect to fellow believers. We meet every other week after the 11:15 service for fellowship and discussion and we also have a Bible study that meets every Tuesday evening.
Get in touch with youngadults@ibcd.de to learn more.
Youth
Youth group meetings are a time when teens and pre-teens can develop healthy friendships with other kids their age; have discussions about the Bible and the christian life, share joys and difficulties teenagers experience, grow in their faith, and have lots of fun!
The meetings usually consist of eating together, a Bible study/discussion and games.
Sometimes we have special events, like games night, movie evenings, bowling, going out together, etc.
To get in touch with our Youth Group Leaders, write to Youth@ibcd.de
Children's Church
Our Sunday School program called “Kids Quest” takes place every Sunday at the same time as our 11:15 a.m. worship service.
The kids are taught in small groups according to their ages about the Bible and the Christian faith in a way that they can understand using age-appropriate material, crafts and games.
For further information, please contact: sundayschool@ibcd.de .
- Our Vision: To Seek the lost and make disciples of the kids in our area.
- Our Theme: Exploration and discovery
We are here in a beautiful forest setting and we want to bring this exploration metaphor to life. We want to help kids explore and discover what it means to have a vital, active relationship with the God who loves them and created them.
The kids are divided into age-groups in order to help them better interact with their peers and make the most of their lessons and time together. You can see the breakdown of the groups on the right.
Our programs use prepared materials that are easy to execute and kids love.
That means it is easy to be a volunteer. Helpers do not need to have previous experience working with kids, nor do you need to be a full member of IBCD. You need to have a relationship with Christ and be a regular part of the body of IBCD. There will be training provided and a background check for the protection of the kids.
- Hikers: 4, 5 & 6 year olds – Strengthening their foundation through engaging activities, Biblical stories, and memory verses.
- Explorers: 7, 8 & 9 years olds
- Trailblazers: 10, 11 & 12 year olds – Educating our children using a fun program. They can learn that the Bible is not just a bunch of little separate stories, but rather see how God’s love for us is woven through the entire events of the Bible and how it impacts our lives today.
Leaders: Joshua Hesterberg and Judy Machiné.
