Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. He came to Earth, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again to offer eternal life to all who believe in Him.

The Word

The Bible is God's inspired Word, providing guidance, wisdom, and truth. It is the foundation of our faith and a source of strength and encouragement in our daily lives.

Prayer

Prayer is our way of communicating with God, expressing our gratitude, needs, and desires. It is a powerful tool for building a personal relationship with Him and seeking His guidance.

Evangelism

Evangelism is sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with others. It is our calling to spread His message of love, hope, and salvation to the world around us.

Family

Family is a vital part of God's design, providing love, support, and spiritual growth. We value and nurture strong, healthy families that reflect God's love and grace.

1952

International Chapel Queens, New York (ICQ) is one of the over 50,000 Parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), which is led by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the General overseer. RCCG was established in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1952 by the Late Rev. Josiah Akindayomi and has rapidly grown to the glory of God, with thousands of parishes and over 10 million worshipers worldwide. There are abiding visions and missions of the RCCG. These are: To make Heaven. To take as many people with us. To have a member of RCCG in every family of all nations. To accomplish No. 1 above, holiness will be our lifestyle. To accomplish No. 2 above, we will plant churches within five minutes of walking distance in every city and town of developing countries and within five minutes of driving distance in every city and town of developed countries.

1999

1999 ICQ is one of over 700 Parishes in the RCCG Americas 1. It was founded on October 24, 1999, by Pastor Olusegun Obed. The first meeting was held at Ramada Plaza JFK Hotel, South Ozone, New York.

2003

On March 23, 2003, Pastor Obed retired from the Redeemed Christian Church of God. The mantle of leadership fell on Pastor Olayinka Alamu, who is currently the Pastor-In-Charge of the Parish. Under Pastor Alamu’s passionate leadership, the church has achieved significant milestones in transforming lives and building Godly families, and the emergence of exceptional workers, some of whom are now Pastors of RCCG Parishes. Four Parishes (International Chapel Tripple H in Long Island, Zion Sanctuary in Queens, House of Praise in Long Island, and Dunamis Assembly in Queens) have been planted with substantial membership and workers drawn from ICQ, a testament to the church’s growth and impact.

2005

In March 2005, ICQ bought and moved to its present location at 155-08 Tuskegee Airmen Way, Jamaica, NY 11433
