The International Church at Yale is an international, interdenominational community of followers of Jesus who gather for worship at Yale. Our vision is to encourage one another to grow in love and faith so that we may serve as a visible representation and witness to the Kingdom of God on the Yale campus and serve the university community, particularly its international students, scholars, faculty, and their families.
Sunday (10:00 a.m.) ICY is online and, when weather permits, outside! Our Sunday service starts at 10am and is always accessible on Zoom:
Everyone is welcome! Some Sundays we also meet at the same time, outside, for a hybrid service. Please contact Vicky Sigworth, vsigworth@gmail.com, or phone/text 203 215 1034 for information about attending in person.
Anyone is welcome to attend our services, regardless of whether or not you have any religious background. You are welcome, no matter whether you consider yourself a believer in Jesus, or are curious to learn more about the Christian faith, or simply want to practice your English.
We hope that you will find us to be a warm and caring community that welcomes you in friendship and helps you to feel at home here at Yale. Our services are informal, and you are welcome to come wearing whatever clothing you wear every day. American students and scholars and their families are also welcome at our services – particularly if you would like to help international students feel at home in this country.
