Welcome to
ICF Siem Reap
EXPERIENCE CHURCH
ICF Siem Reap is a Christian church with a biblical foundation: authentic, relevant, and excited about life with Jesus.
Welcome Home!
Welcome to ICF Siem Reap! No matter how you found us, we are excited to have you here today!
We would like to introduce us to you—what defines us as a church, what motivates us, what we believe, and how we practice community.
Right from the start, we want to share with you our dream of a church that has inspired us from the very beginning and is now becoming more and more a reality.
We invite you to become part of this dream too. You are welcome, feel at home!
God’s blessings,
Bethany & Eddie Roach
Lead Pastors ICF Siem Reap
Our Mission
As a church, it is our passion for people to become more like Jesus Christ, live fearlessly and have a positive influence on their world.
Our Values
Our Code of Honor
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
The Bible – Hebrews 12:1-2, NIV
As employees and Core Leaders in ICF Siem Reap it is our deep desire to victoriously complete the race of faith. We are determined to live by biblical moral standards. After numerous conversations about the lifestyle of leaders in the church and inspired by the “Modesto Manifesto” written by Billy Graham and his friends, we have agreed on a set of voluntary principles: The “Code of Honor for the ICF Siem Reap Staff”.
The church ICF Siem Reap is an association. It is financed by voluntary donations. A salary model independent of commissions applies to all employees. The income from sales of all ICF Media products, such as books, music and apps, flows entirely into the organization. Upon request, we provide insight into our finances. With conviction, we fulfill the legal requirements, such as the regular audit of our association’s accounts.
We maintain a healthy and addiction-free lifestyle. We actively counteract sexual sin in a self-responsible manner. As an organization, we take preventive measures against sexual abuse and sexual violations, such as a sensitive application procedure, staff training, and a code of conduct for staff and volunteers. To meet this end, we work together with the “Limita” specialist unit Every person in our church has the right and the duty to contact the national and independent “Victim Assistance” specialist unit when a case is suspected.
We submit and commit ourselves to the mission statement of ICF Movement. We use entrusted power and competencies responsibly and actively counteract the abuse of power. Leo and Susanna Bigger lead the organization as Senior Pastors and thus also the Core Team as its leadership team.
In the Core Team, every opinion counts. We wrestle with decisions until everyone can support them and no one has any serious reservations. Strategic and operational responsibility is assigned to the respective areas, subsidiary operations, and locations in the sense of selforganized teams. The competences in the legal branches of the organization are all distributed among two authorized signatories.
Our published figures and statistics are truthful. We have commissioned and appointed an independent, external clearing office (ombudsman’s office) that is
not subject to our directives. Every person from the church and its surrounding has the possibility to report to them conflicts with leadership, suspicion of abuse of power, or observations of unhealthy behavior.

May God help us to live faithfully, passionately, and exemplarily.
