Our heartbeat
“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” – 2 Corinthians 9:8 | The Bible
What an inspiring statement! We have a God of “more than enough.” He is our faithful provider, and for that we are endlessly grateful. His ongoing generosity continually inspires us to be generous ourselves.
REACH Beyond means becoming one with the heart of God. We become part of the answer to the needs in our society and intentionally invest in local and global projects. Our desire is that people come to know Jesus, that we stand against injustice, and that relevant churches are planted around the world. Together, through our generosity, we can do so much good. No matter how many resources you have: every one of us can contribute something. Your giving matters—not because of the amount, but because it reflects the generosity of God.
We are blessed to be a blessing. On the following pages, we introduce several projects that are on our heart for this year. We warmly invite you to be part of REACH Beyond 2026. We are looking forward to an amazing 2026 with you!

GROW OUR HOME
ICF München New Home
The time has finally come: After a long search for suitable premises, a lot of bureaucracy, an intensive renovation phase, and accompanied by the prayers of the entire church, we are moving in March 2026: ICF Munich City is getting a new home!
The larger floor space opens up new possibilities for us:
- ICF Kids has more room for different age groups.
- Youth and Sunday Night have a place to meet.
- We can offer discipleship steps and workshops.
- There is space for team and community meetings.
- And finally, there will be a place where people can meet at any time to experience fellowship.
Through REACH Beyond, you are supporting the renovation, purchase of additional furniture, the moving costs, and the rent.
We are already looking forward to moving into our new home together with you, filling it with life, and creating a place where people can get to know Jesus better.
Next Gen & Strengthening Families
Research indicates that individuals who form connections with God and the church during childhood are more likely to continue in their faith as adults, compared to those who do not have this background. Our goal is to support the younger generation by helping them build a foundation for a relationship with God early on and to provide solid guidance through their teenage years. Through REACH Beyond, we are investing in staff and resources to offer ongoing support, encourage growth, and develop new opportunities so more families can experience God’s love.
English Celebration
At ICF Munich, we want to give people from every nation a place to call home. For many years we have offered translation in several languages as well as Groups in different languages. In the coming year, we will take another exciting step by opening a new space where people from all countries and language backgrounds can encounter God and contribute with their gifts: the English Celebration.
This English-speaking service will create a new opportunity to get to know Jesus, experience the Holy Spirit, enjoy warm community, actively use your gifts, and find a spiritual home in our church. In addition to the Celebration itself, we also want to offer environments such as ICF Kids in the afternoon, hangouts after the Celebration, discipleship opportunities, and small groups—all designed to help even more people find a spiritual home at ICF Munich.
