In 1996, Leo Bigger and two other pastors founded ICF Zurich. In doing so, they realized the dream of a “church in tune with the times” where people can meet Jesus and find a home. Today, with its almost 80 churches in 13 countries, ICF is one of the largest church movements in German-speaking countries. Leo is also the author of several books, a sought-after speaker at home and abroad and a preacher on various media platforms. He inspires people and motivates them with his passionate, humorous and uncomplicated manner. Leo and his wife Susanna are senior pastors of the ICF Church in Zurich, with over 3000 visitors per weekend at six different locations, and leaders of the global ICF Movement. They live together near Zurich and have two adult sons.
