At Island Community Church, our mission is simple: to love God, love people, and make disciples.

These values aren't just ideals; they're the principles that guide our everyday actions and interactions. They shape the way we worship, the way we serve, and the way we relate to one another. They're the DNA of Island Community Church, and they're what make us who we are.
