ICF Members in Northern Europe
Congregationalism has its roots within the United Kingdom. From England, during the time of the Puritans, Congregationalism was "exported" to what later became the United Staes of America by the "Pilgrim Fathers".
There are two Associational Bodies in membership with ICF. These are the Union of Welsh Independents (in their own language Undeb yr Annibynwyr Cymraeg) and the Congregational Federation.
There are several "local" Congregational churches in membership and a list will soon appear. We also have a growing number of individual members.
Because the nature of the Reformation developed differently on mainland Europe and ahead of the UK protestant movement there are fewer truly Congregational churches there. We remain committed to search out and establish links with any that do exist.
Get involved!
Our members include national Associational bodies, local churches, theological and mission organisations, and individual Congregational Christians.
We are a growing Fellowship and welcome new members from anywhere in the world who share our values. If you are interested why not complete the online enquiry form.

ICF Members stunned by death of Steve de Gruchy
On 23rd February news that Steve had been involved in a rafting accident in South Africa and that his body was missing was rapidly circulated around the Fellowship. On 24th February we learned that he was now formally presumed dead and that a funeral service would be held on Saturday afternoon 27th February. Steve's body was subsequently found in the Mool River by police divers. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Adding New Languages
The ICF News Sheet is now available in Spanish thanks to former members of the Congregational Church in Herstmonceux, England. It is hoped that the Latin America page of this website will go bi-lingual shortly, with news from the Region included.
We have hopes for translations of the News Sheet into Greek, Arabic and Korean before the end of the year!
