We do not serve Christ to earn our way to Him; rather, His sacrifice on the Cross has enabled us to be participants, coheirs and partners in the work of the Gospel. We serve out of a desire to glorify God in everything we do, and we believe that vibrant ministry is a result of intimacy with Jesus Christ. We also believe that fruitful ministry is the work of the Holy Spirit. Serving in the body of believers is one tangible way we get to encourage one another and exemplify Christ\u2019s love, mercy and grace.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-937-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-937-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-937-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-video so-widget-sow-video-default-f379b959fc93-937\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-video-wrapper no-controls\">\n\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IEC Welcome Video - English\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XeA6GC26mCI?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-937-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-937-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-video so-widget-sow-video-default-f379b959fc93-937\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-video-wrapper no-controls\">\n\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IEC Welcome Video - Indonesian\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yFBLmgnvkVI?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-937-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-937-3\" data-stretch-type=\"full\" ><div id=\"pgc-937-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><div id=\"pgc-937-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty panel-grid-cell-mobile-last\" ><\/div><div id=\"pgc-937-3-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are a community that gathers together with the primary goal of worshipping and magnifying our Lord, Jesus Christ.
