Founded in 1996, ICA Surabaya is an international church holding services in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Our international members are mostly in Surabaya for business or education, and many of our Indonesian members have lived or studied abroad.
ICA is part of the Assemblies of God of Indonesia (Gereja Sidang-Sidang Jemaat Allah, GSJA) and its East Java district, and belongs to a network of international churches across Indonesia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia, Russia, and Japan. Legally, ICA is a branch of GSJA Ebenhaezer, Jl. Ambengan No. 2, Surabaya.
ICA is a mission-focused church. We serve at-risk inner-city children and youth through weekly children’s outreach and a youth development program, and in 2017 we opened our Community Leadership Center. We also partner with churches across Indonesia through projects, training, and programs that serve their congregations and communities.
ICA believes in fulfilling the call of God by serving others and helping in areas of need in our nation, whether it’s partnering with other churches to help their ministry, building projects, or responding to disasters with aid and assistance.
“Our desire is to see every person that comes to ICA Surabaya become a disciple and a disciple maker of Jesus.”
ICA wants to be a church that expands the Kingdom of God locally, nationally, and internationally. To have a nationwide and international impact through church ministry and missions.
ICA as a church wants to make spirit empowered disciples of all nations that live in the city Surabaya. "Spirit Empowered" means a follower of Jesus who is controlled and empowered by the Spirit of God to be more than he or she is on their own. We want to make followers of Jesus who are empowered by God to be His powerful representatives in their world.
Trusting relationships at church begins with trusting God. We will always endeavor to have trusting relationships with our families, our fellow worshipers, and our pastoral team. Trusting relationships means being a trustworthy church, practicing transparency in our decisions, in our devotion to God, in being responsible with what we have, in speaking the truth, and that leaders wield power and influence in a responsible manner.
We value the lost (non-believers) more than the found in how we do our outreaches, both to congregants and in outreaches to the community. This was clearly the mission of Christ; to “seek and save those who are lost.” We believe this mission statement should shape what we think and what we do.
We recognize that everyone are on a spiritual journey that takes an individual from non-belief to mature faith. We respect wherever you are at in that process and know that God is working in you at every step of your spiritual journey. We value what is going on in the inside more than the outside. We believe spiritual maturity is a lifelong process of experiencing more and more of God through His Word, His Spirit, and his people (the Church).
We value the ministry of every believer.
It is essential that every believer be involved in Ministry or service. Often the measure of a church in the eyes of people is based upon the question 'Is the church doing anything?'. We value those who work hard for His Kingdom.
ICA Surabaya belongs to the Assemblies of God and upholds the following 16 fundamental truths.

Parents are the primary disciplers of their children — ICA Kids is here to partner with you. We provide a safe, high-energy environment where children can encounter Jesus, while the most profound spiritual formation happens at home.
Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.Proverbs 22:6, NLT
Age-appropriate teaching that builds a biblical foundation, for children from age 3 through 6th grade. Safe check-in and pick-up at every service.
Join a community of parents walking through gospel-centered resources together.
Join a GO Group →A milestone where we commit as a church to support you in raising your child in the ways of the Lord.
Learn about dedication →By Tedd Tripp — we recommend this book to every ICA parent. It moves past behavior management toward shaping the heart.
To ask about the next child dedication, or anything else, get in touch with our Kids pastor.
Message our Kids teamThe move from childhood to adulthood is a critical season of identity formation. Our goal is to help students move from a borrowed faith — the faith of their parents — to an owned faith: a personal, resilient relationship with Jesus.
Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.1 Timothy 4:12, NLT
ICA Youth is our community for teenagers aged 13–19. Every Friday we gather for a youth service where we teach the Bible and grow together in small groups — we call it Friday Night Live, or FNL.
Fridays at 6:30 PM, at both West and East.
We create environments where the gospel meets the realities of modern teenage culture, and no question is off limits.
Everything runs on relationships between leaders and students, not just programs.
Alongside FNL, ICA Youth runs in-service events and programs throughout the calendar year.
Students are part of the wider church family at our Sunday services.
Just come along on a Friday, or message us first and we'll look out for you.
Connect with ICA YouthA community for young adults finding their footing — in work, in relationships, and in faith. We gather to worship, dig into Scripture, and build the kind of friendships that hold you steady.
At both West and East.
Built for this season of life — career starts, big decisions, and working out what you actually believe.
Where you are known rather than just present.
Many of our young adults serve on Sunday teams and lead in ICA Youth.
No need to know anyone first — turn up and we'll introduce you.
Young Adults sits inside our wider discipleship roadmap: it is a natural place to join a GO Group, discover your gifts, and take a next step.
If the Bible is food because it nourishes our spiritual lives, then prayer is breathing. Whatever you are carrying, you do not have to carry it alone.
Our prayer team would count it a privilege to pray with you. Nothing is too small, and nothing you share goes further than the team.
Jesus got up very early to spend time with His Father. Make a daily appointment with God and keep it.
Jesus had a prayer place. Find somewhere undistracted where you can pray out loud, perhaps with worship music in the background.
Go in with a plan rather than hoping words arrive.
Telling God why He is so awesome. Expressing praise for His faithfulness and goodness.
Telling the Lord your failures honestly, and asking His forgiveness.
Thanking Him for what He has already done.
Bringing your requests, and the needs of others, before Him.
Start with five minutes. Consistency matters far more than length.
Life is full of seasons that bring both joy and challenge. We believe seeking wise counsel is not a sign of weakness, but a courageous step toward health and spiritual maturity.
Whether you are facing a crisis, navigating a difficult transition, or simply need a safe place to process life, our pastoral team and counseling ministry is a resource for you.
God never intended for us to carry our heaviest burdens alone. Biblical counseling provides a space to align your circumstances with God's truth, offering a perspective that brings hope, healing and practical wisdom for your life and relationships.
Strengthening communication, resolving conflict, and navigating parenting challenges.
Processing anxiety, grief, loss, or feeling stuck in your faith journey.
Seeking clarity on God's will, or finding freedom from past hurts and habits.
We provide a safe and confidential environment where you can share your struggles while we focus together on the restorative power of Jesus Christ.
To request a session, email our counselor directly, or message the church office on WhatsApp at (+62) 851-9060-6598.
Congratulations. We would love to walk with you into marriage — and that begins well before the wedding day.
As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”Ephesians 5:31, NLT
ICA requires premarital counseling beginning at least 6 months before the wedding date for couples marrying at ICA Surabaya. It is not a hurdle — it is the single most useful gift we can give you at the start.
We use Prepare/Enrich, the global standard for relationship assessment, continually updated with solid research. All married ICA pastoral staff are trained facilitators. The proven method — assessment, discussion, then skill-building — increases relationship satisfaction and reduces divorce risk by 31%.
You both take the Prepare/Enrich assessment.
A facilitator meets with you 5–7 times to review the findings together.
You work through skill-building exercises between sessions.
In the final session, we collaborate with you to create your wedding ceremony.
Start early. Couples who begin the conversation a year out have far more freedom over dates.
Child dedication is a milestone where you commit to raising your child in the ways of the Lord — and where we commit, as a church, to supporting you in it.
Because baptism is a public declaration of personal faith, we don't baptize infants — they are not yet able to make that decision for themselves. Instead we dedicate babies to the Lord together with their families. When children are old enough to decide to follow Jesus themselves, they can be baptized.
Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.Proverbs 22:6, NLT
To raise this child to know and love Jesus.
The church family pledges to support you in that work.
Your child will make that decision for themselves one day.
Dedication is a promise, not a transaction.
We believe parents are the primary disciplers of their children, and ICA Kids exists to partner with you — age-appropriate teaching on Sundays for ages 2 to 12, and Parenting GO Groups where you can walk through gospel-centered resources with other parents.
Dedications are held periodically through the year. Message us and we'll tell you when the next one is and what to expect on the day.
