A church without a youth ministry has no future! This has not just been a saying but by God´s Grace I.C.C has been blessed with a strong youth ministry. In 2016, they received a mandate to have a personal encounter with God and win souls to Christ. The name God gave for this fellowship was Pure Encounter, which has been inspirational to many youths in the city of Berlin and beyond. Furthermore, during the COVID pandemic, a youth service which was in the womb was birthed and they are very committed to Christ and His Kingdom.
After fourteen years, the membership of the church currently stands at 260 comprising 120 adults, 70 youths and 70 children.
