International Christian Center

If you are looking for Rhema from the Lord Jesus Christ, you will find it here. This Church does so many things well but what stands out is the Love of God that is shed in each heart here. The new Pastors Tim and Ginger are fantastic! They are «Word» driven and have a heart for people. If you are looking for a church home I encourage you to come to a service and you will be welcomed and see the power and experience the presence of God! Wednesday night bible study is incredible and Tuesday night prayer is freeing!

My wife and I were looking for a church and found ICC. It’s exactly what we were looking for, a balanced church with great teaching and preaching from the pulpit along with a powerful worship team. Along with that they have a great youth group. When we first got there I was a bit gun shy. What you see is what you get at ICC. The leadership is humble (very refreshing) and the Holy Spirit moves in a powerful way. Exactly what we were looking for. Also it’s multi ethnic and multi generational. If you’re looking, check it out. We decided to stay.

If you are looking for a church where you feel like you are part of family — this the place for you! The worship is amazing with practical messages from the new pastor as of February 2014. A great family-​centered church!

I want to start by stating that I’m not Christian [yet? I’m open-​minded to being one but I’d like to feel sincere about the Bible first, not pressured]. I was raised Buddhist Taoist, but opened up my spiritual side again this past year.
I recently just moved back to San Leandro and is still look for an empowering church. I attended the night service here and there were a lot of nice folks that pinpointed me and surrounded me immediately, which is what a church is meant to do, but I did felt a bit pressured. I love the sense of community and open arms they offer but the experience was definitely intense and not too comfortable.
Worship was good and the ladies have such beautiful powerful voices and Pastor David was preaching that night. I like it when a church doesn’t mention any other religion but focuses on their own because I feel that maybe they lack understanding and knowledge about another’s and is quick to judge. When he preached that a religion like «Buddhism» is grouped with earthly wants like alms and cars, I was instinctively offended because I grew up in a Buddhist household.
What happens to people that grow up without the knowledge of Christ and is torn between church and family roots?
I don’t know. But I really do miss my Southern California churches.
Also, be prepared for powerful prayers and to cry. This church definitely touched me though I’m not sure if it’s for everybody. Note to self: Maybe try the morning service?

I am a Christian from Chicago and moved to the bay area a little over 3 years ago. I have been to several churches in the area but none of them have had an impact on me like this one.
We first started coming to this church because it was literally 3 buildings down from our apartment. But now we don’t live there anymore we still make the trip because this place is AWESOME. The congregation are really friendly and multi-​racial (which is great! makes me feel like I fit right in!!) and the Pastor Phil Stewart’s preaching is very powerful. Every time I come I take home something valuable. The praise here is really powerful! This is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. When you walk in the doors you are overwhelmed by the Spirit of God. People all around you are singing praises and I love it! You’re free to praise however you want to. I am always in tears because the praise team is soo good!
There is always something going on there. There a different ministry for everyone from any walk of life. There is also a middle school here too and the kids are really involved. I am definitely sending my son here when he’s of age!
They also have service in the morning and the evening, which is great if you’re not a morning person! Although, if you chose to go to both you will get something different form each service and will not be disappointed.
I absolutely LOVE this church. Even if you miss a couple services for whatever reason (or in my case, quite a few) When you come back you are recognized and welcomed and feel missed. People here are really genuine and sincere. The testimonials are inspiring! God is really doing big things with this place. I can go on and on about this Church.
Everyone should come here! No matter what your religious background is. The presence of God here is so strong, so if you have a open mind and open heart, I guarantee you will love it too!
