An instrument for value-oriented church growth, with practical resources that empower local churches to become supportive spiritual homes for all generations (with special attention to the youth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iCOR\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

iCOR is intended to help churches recognise their values and live them out together across all generations in everyday church life, because this will strengthen their vitality and make them relevant for their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Church means a lot of things, but above all, it means you and your \u201cbrother\u201d or \u201csister\u201d in faith, and ultimately, it means us, a community of those for whom Jesus is Saviour, Lord and Friend. Church is how and what we live together in faith. Church can be compared to a living organism, the body of Christ, a community of practical partnership and solidarity, a place of refuge and a family where you can feel and make yourself at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question now is, how do we want to live out and shape the church of Christ? What is most important in the process? What purpose does Jesus have in mind for us as His Church? That is exactly what we want to reflect on and act upon through iCOR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
