In thinking about the importance of community and fellowship, I have come to the conclusion that our society puts a lot of emphasis on individualism, to the extent that in some respects, we have lost our sense of community. As you know, the Christian faith is not a solitary faith, it is a communal faith. Gods design for His children is that our faith is lived out in community, in fellowship and harmony with fellow believers.

The opportunity and demand for kingdom-minded men and women of God committed to support and strengthen each other in the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the transformation of their communities, by the building of lives and great local churches, has never been greater. Thus, was birthed the vision for the International Covenant Christian Churches (i3C).

The mission of i3C is to operate in local church development, global missions, education, outreach endeavors and to provide pastors and Christian leaders with the opportunity to participate in various ways and means by which to enhance their ministries and personal lives. i3C membership opens doors for global networking and fellowship.

Our goal is relational; to provide spiritual covering for ministers and ministries in an effort to equip and empower a new generation of men and women of God who operate in five-fold ministries; as well as to provide fellowship which enhances personal and leadership development through mentoring, impartation and restoration.

This special covenant relationship will be comprised of spirit-filled pastors and Christian leaders throughout the world, who share our vision, passion and core values. Through these relationships, we are combining our efforts, experiences and our resources to strengthen and develop churches and ministries connected to the mission.

Looking forward to great fellowship together!

For His Glory,

Bishop Donald E. Battle
Founder & President, i3C
