Global Pastor William Roberts
The family grew up in the Church in Goudadam. Having humble roots being the son of a manual labourer he found God at the age of 15. He now lives his life serving God and the church having led the church for the last 5 years moving it forward to our goal of increasing to 30,000,000 by 2030. He lives with his wife Jasmine and son Austin.We believe in these key Tenets:
1:God sent Jesus to Earth to save mankind from all its sins and his son died on the cross as a sacrifice
2:God sacrificed his life for all , regardless of sin , sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality or neurotype and we should serve all peoples with Gods love. Nobody should feel excluded or different because of these factors.
3:God believes in the family for all and we hence support marriage be it for straight people and LGBT people. We support families in all their weird and wonderful make ups.This extends to all types of marriage be it gay or straight and we will marry LGBT people where legal and where its not arrange a foreign marriage in a country where it is legal.
4:God wants us to not only have faith but do good works with that faith so that social justice and his kingdom may spread on earth. We believe he wants us to influence the world in all areas encouraging biblical principles throughout society.
5:We believe that women are to be respected as equals able to serve in all positions and afforded respect for who they are and not treated as sex objects or objectified.Q&A:
I want to get married as an lgbt person but it's illegal where I live , what should I do?
Speak to your pastor , they will then suggest a good church in a jurisdiction where gay marriage is legal. We will then on our confidential records recognise the marriage in all ICS churches worldwide. We believe you should have the right to be married regardless of sexuality, just as God desires. After all if being gay was bad God wouldn't have made you that way.
If I give money the pastors and leaders will just use it to fund their extravagant lifestyle right?
No , the wage cap for pastors in a church is the average salary of the country they are in with national leadership wage caps at 20% . International leadership roles are capped at 155,000 Euros per year. The leadership of the church is also required to give 85% of profit or royalties of any book, music or artistic income by our staff members go to the church . -
Church in the Park or Church in the Stands
Church in the Park , Church in the Square or Church in the Stands is our name for joint services conducted every 4 weeks usually in a park , stadium or an arena depending on the size of venue needed. The services happen monthly jointly organised by churches in a region or city. The services range in size from 20,000 capacity to over 90,000 being big events they cost money to organise so a small fee of from £5 is charged per attendee or £15 per family to cover costs of the service . Events typically last for at least 4 hours depending on the group organising the services. Its a great way for the ICS family to meet together and unite.The services are free for those on benefits or needing help with costs.
