Celebration FAQ
General / Attending
Celebration is what we call our weekly service. Celebration because we want to celebrate our God together. That’s why it can be a bit loud, cheerful, and passionate. A little different from what you might be used to in a traditional church.
A celebration lasts about 90 minutes and consists mainly of worship, where we sing together, and a sermon, which should encourage you for your everyday life.
There is no dress code – you can come the way you dress in your free time and feel comfortable.
Admission is free of charge. There is a collection during each Celebration where you have the opportunity to make a voluntary donation. This can be done by putting cash in containers that are given through the rows, or online at icf.church/zuerich/en/giving. ICF is funded by voluntary donations.
Depending on the time of the Celebration, you can expect between 150 – 1000 visitors.
You can expect music played and sung by our ICF Worship Team, a mix of self-written songs or songs from other well-known Christian music groups. The songs are a kind of sung prayer. On the ICF Worship YouTube channel you can see what it sounds and looks like. Everyone is allowed to sing along; the corresponding lyrics are displayed on the LED wall. Of course, you can also just listen and enjoy.
For the worship time which the ICF Worship Band plays, we are concerned to provide a good and powerful sound that is pleasant and inspiring. This requires a certain volume. If this is too loud for you, you are welcome to pick up free earplugs from one of our team wearing a white “Welcome Team” shirt.
You can also expect a light show to match the music.
Due to the large number of visitors, it will not be noticed if you are there for the first time. If you like and want to learn more about the church, you can join the Coming Home Group after each celebration, where you can learn more about ICF and the faith.
No, every person is welcome to attend the Celebrations at ICF.
Yes, besides the worship music, which is a kind of sung prayer, there is prayer every now and then. Those who wish can actively sing or pray along or just listen and enjoy.
After the Celebration we have a prayer team who will be happy to pray with you for your requests if you wish.
After each Celebration, the Coming Home Group is available to you; the place where you can learn more about ICF and the faith. There is a team there who will be happy to spend time with you. Otherwise, you can also get in touch with us via the contact form.
Every Sunday, parallel to the Celebrations on site, you can also experience them online as a livestream on our YouTube channels. To the YouTube channels.
You can experience the Celebrations in different languages. Every Sunday at 9:30 am in High German, at 11:30 am and 7 pm in Swiss German and at 5 pm in English. There is also a translation into other languages via headphones. You can find more information here.
Arrival
It is always worthwhile to allow enough time. Especially if you want to have a coffee, drop off your children at ICF Kids or just don’t want to miss the pre-program. In any case, it is worthwhile to be there 10-30 minutes before the start of the Celebration.
Yes, on Sundays you can use the car park in The Hall free of charge. Our parking team will show you the way.
The Hall is only about 100 meters from Stettbach train station. From Zurich HB, for example, the S3, S12 or S9 go to Stettbach. Trams 7 and 12 and various buses also go to Stettbach station.
You have the possibility to park your bike in the parking garage of The Hall. There is a ramp for you and your bike on the side of the entrance.
Children / Age groups
You are very welcome to bring your children! ICF Kids is ICF’s children’s church for all 0 – 12-year-old children. The program is sure to be a highlight for your children. You can find more information at: icf.church/zuerich/en/kids
In addition to the Sunday celebrations, which can be attended regardless of age, we have specific offers for different age groups where you can easily find friends your own age.

During the worship you are welcome to enjoy the worship together in the balcony – a great opportunity for the little ones to experience church live. We have a special room for the sermon where you can follow the message on a screen. This allows everyone to experience the celebration without distractions. And don’t worry: after the sermon you can enjoy the worship together again on the balcony. We want the Celebration to be an enriching time for everyone – big or small.
Bar / Food
There are various food options around the Celebrations. Depending on the time of day, from coffee and croissants to pizza or the lunch menu at the Food & Fellowship on the 2nd floor, there is something for everyone. The Stettbacher Café directly behind The Hall is also a popular place for a good chat before or after the Celebration.
Before and after the Celebration you can get a good coffee and small pastries at our coffee bar. You can also get excellent coffee at the Stettbacher Café just behind The Hall.
Closed drinks may be taken into the hall. Open drinks and food may be enjoyed in the foyer, at lunchtime at the Food & Fellowship on the 2nd floor or outside.
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated in remembrance of Jesus Christ, his life, death, and resurrection. After the Celebration this is available in the form of grape juice and a piece of bread from the Prayer Team.
