We are a community of followers of Jesus Christ, committed to live by faith, to be known by love and worship, and to be a voice of hope. The name of our community originated from the diversity of our members coming from countries and cultures around the globe, now living in Lyon.

We welcome people from all walks of life, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey.

Come to ICCL and discover how we can all fit together!

Easter – we’ve got it in the basket.

We’ve done the planning and everything is in… well, the basket.

All you have to do is come join us!

Easter Sunday, April 4: Invite your friends and join us for an Easter worship service, followed by an Easter Egg Hunt and a potluck apéritif dînatoire. (Don’t know what that is? Well, this is a perfect time to discover this wonderful French experience among friends.) Just bring a savoury  appetizer and something sweet – finger foods, please – for us to share.

Christmas Carols 2009

Our 5th annual Christmas Carol celebration was held on December 13 at 4pm in the Temple du Change (Eglise Reformée) which is found in Old Lyon (Vieux Lyon) on the Place du Change – Lyon 5ème.

Once again we sang together for an hour-long celebration which was packed full of the traditional English Christmas Carols that so many of you grew up with or that you have grown to associate with Christmas from the time that you have spent in English speaking countries. We also listened to a short talk about the real reason we celebrate Christmas given by our pastor, Mike DiGena.

We closed our time with some refreshments which were offered after the celebration.

If you didn’t get a chance to join us this year, please consider coming next year to our sixth annual Christmas Carol celebration! It will be held on either the first or second Sunday afternoon of December 2010! Everyone is welcome.

Come back for more details.
