ICF Rome began on Easter Sunday, 1988, with a commitment to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ and form a faith community among the English-speaking foreign community of Rome.

From a small beginning in an Italian church classroom the ministry has expanded to include ethnic groups, Italians, and foreigners of many languages.

ICF has ministered to thousands of foreign visitors and residents of Rome; from refugees to diplomats, from literally every part of the world. Today, ICF is composed of 250 regular members from more than 45 nations.

Since 1988, ICF has continually been involved in the planting of new churches throughout Italy. Bible schools have been established for the training of church leaders and pastors. Fellowship has developed with Italian churches and joint ministry projects established.

Since 2001, ICF Rome has maintained a WELCOME CENTRE strategically located in the heart of the city. Ministry happens 7-day-a-week at the WELCOME CENTRE.

Prayer groups, Bible Study groups, women's and young adult groups all use the centre during the course of the week. Evangelism training and Global University classes are also conducted weekly. The Centre also provides office space, an English library, a Prayer Room, and Gospel literature for distribution in many languages.
