Our Journey

A Story of Faith,
Sacrifice & God's Faithfulness

From humble beginnings and difficult seasons to a growing church family, the story of ICF is a story of prayer, unity, sacrifice and God's enduring faithfulness.

Faith Through the Storm

Alive in Faith Through the Mt. Pinatubo Eruption

Before there was a church building, there was already a community of believers gathering together for Bible study and prayer. Even through the Mt. Pinatubo eruption and its aftermath, faith remained alive.

1992

When Prayer Became a Path

God Answered Our Prayer

In 1992, the prayers of the church were answered. But there was no proper road leading to Iram, and vehicles could not reach the community.

We Became the Builders

Fathers and mothers joined together, carrying sheets of roofing, sacks of cement and building materials on their own shoulders.

Every wall represented more than construction. It was an expression of love, sacrifice and a desire to build something for the Lord.

1993

A Church Building, A Living Church

In 1993, the building was completed. But the story was never really about the building.

“Tayo ang simbahan.”

The church is the people. Our faith is the foundation, and our unity continues to hold us together.

Today

Still Faithful

Yesterday. Today. And Forever.

More than three decades later, the same foundation remains: God's Word, prayer, worship, fellowship and service.

From those early gatherings to the growing church family we see today, ICF continues to move forward by God's grace.

“Thank you, Lord, for the growth. Yesterday. Today. And forever.”

Our Story

A Legacy of Faith,
Since 1993

Since 1993, IRAM Christian Fellowship has faithfully served the families of the IRAM Resettlement Area and the wider Olongapo City community, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and helping people grow in faith through biblical teaching, worship, prayer, and authentic Christian fellowship.

Through every season, God has remained faithful. Lives have been transformed, families strengthened, and generations encouraged to follow Jesus Christ. What began as a local fellowship continues to be a place where people discover God's grace, hope, purpose, and the joy of belonging to His Church.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

Hebrews 13:8 (NIV)
