I'm an MA, serving with the International Church of Barcelona! The International Church of Barcelona (ICB) was founded in 1993 as a place for believers from around the world to worship. Over the years, it has evolved from a small gathering to an active church community in Barcelona. On any given Sunday, you will meet a diverse Body of Christ - over 90 nationalities all coming together to worship our God!
WHY BARCELONA?
We tend to think of Spain as a Christian nation, when in reality, only just over 1% of the population of Spain are evangelical Christian.
At ICB, we are in our city to see the people of Barcelona enter into a vibrant and transformative relationship with God - and we are seeing the fruit of that every week! In neighborhood coffee shops, in classrooms & workplaces, in ministering practical needs to those who need it most, in building projects, and each of our 3 campuses, God is using the people of ICB to bring His truth, hope, and light to people who desperately need it.
There is a revival happening in Spain that has never happened before, and I am so honored to be a part of the team God is using to impact this city and this region!
MY ROLE:
I have the privilege of serving in a few capacities at ICB, but my main role is that of Sunday Director. My role is to oversee Sundays, including overseeing communication between all the teams serving on Sundays, coordinating logistics on a weekly basis and for special events (Easter/Christmas, baptisms baby dedications, etc.), and developing a team of volunteer directors and coordinators.
My role also involves overseeing & coordinating the short term missions teams and interns that serve with us every year.
I'm also involved in our young adult ministry as a community group leader and part of the teaching team.
