Programs and Services
Consulting - provides community building direction and assistance for neighborhoods, towns, large municipalities and even church groups.

Teaching - key to building strong communities, with courses designed to promote community volunteerism, activism and connectedness.

Community Service Operations – promote family values and a balanced lifestyle. To sustain this, the IFC has developed a revolutionary community service model called the Friendship Centre, a place for families to live, love, learn, and celebrate life.

Friendship Centres deliver valuable services to the community through:

  Recreation programs provide fun for all ages and an opportunity to rest, enjoy and celebrate life with others.

  Resource Centre creates value based on specific neighborhood needs. Youth after-school programs, adult support groups and entrepreneurial business services are just a few of the many programs that are developed based on the needs of each individual community.

  Church planting addresses the spiritual needs of the neighborhood. The Friendship Centre will consult with leaders in the community to assist a church in providing programs that meet the needs of the neighborhood.

All services offered at the Friendship Centre also include opportunities for scholarship that assist families in financial need.
