Our History

In 1981 four families from the American Church in London wanted to start a mission church in Surrey. It was named the American Community Church and 'incorporated' in Delaware. To reflect changes in membership and to make all nationalities welcome the name was changed to the International Community Church in 1988.

The current makeup of the church is mostly North American English; European, Australian and South African members make up a small but growing percentage of the church. The congregation has grown to about 150 families despite the fact that 30% of our members are transferred every year. Many church denominations are represented: Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, Catholic, Episcopalian, Southern Baptist, Bible Church, Assemblies of God, Disciples of Christ, Christian and Missionary Alliance, Church of England, Church of Christ, UCC and others.
