Gospel of Jesus is the center and foundation of everything that we do.
Divorce Care: This ministry provides a small
group support meeting that is designed to
help people who have broken pieces of their lives put back together. This is one of the most effective and meaningful ministries of ICM. We use
professionally produced videos, DVDs, workbooks and group discussions. The people featured in the materials are individuals who have been through
divorce as well as professional councilors and teachers who have worked with divorce
counseling for many years.
Grief Sharing: This program is another support
group ministry that helps individuals overcome the trauma of the
loss of a loved one through death. This too provides videos, workbooks and group discussions. Professional
councilors and
pastors are featured in this series. Many hurting hearts have been comforted and encouraged through
Grief Share.

new and
used clothing to those in need locally as well as transferring items to
mission organizations all over the
world. We have shipped out more than a dozen truck loads of clothes. Low income families can come to ICM for clothes at
no cost to them.
ICM Food Pantry: The
food pantry at ICM has been in operation for nine years. We started out serving a few families each month and now have a data base of over 2,000. People come from all over the
Katahdin area as far as 50 miles away to receive from the food pantry. Many individuals and organizations support this work generously. ICM food pantry is opened Thursday and Friday each week.
The Den: This ministry is a
Teen Center for the children of the
community. Kids ages 12-18 meet each Friday evening (7:00 pm - 9:30 pm) for basketball, pool, loud music and social interaction. Each Friday they are challenged with a
Bible based
devotional as well.

informal time of music and prayer that connects us
with
God.

Jesus Christ at our Sunday morning worship.
