IMCOE e. V.
International Ministerial Council Of Europe e.V. (IMCOE)
Ministerial Networking - A Uniting Body for Pentecostal-Charismatic Churches (John 17:21-22)

WHO WE ARE
The International Ministerial Council of Germany (IMCOE) was set up in 1993 and got officially registered with the Hamburg Registration Court on the 21st October 1994. The Seat of the Council is Hamburg/Germany.

PHILOSOPHY & FUNCTIONS
IMCOE - IS A UNITING BODY FOR CHURCHES AND A MINISTERIAL NETWORKING FOR CHRISTIAN LEADERS. We are registered as an Umbrella Christian Organisation in Germany.
First and foremost, it is to encourage Christians of all Denominations, linguistic and social backgrounds to aspire for Unity in the Body of Christ in Germany, Europe and the whole world, with practical endeavours for Christian Integration.
It is also to build and strengthen proper senses of togetherness among all Christians, - Africans, Arabs, Americans, Asians, Europeans and all races and tongues in Germany.
It is also to challenge pre-eminently the Pentecostal Charismatic Churches and the Minority Churches, their Ministers and Leaders to commit themselves whole-heartily to enhance Harmony and Unity in Truth and Spirit, amongst themselves, by demonstrating the "Agape" love of the LORD Jesus Christ, and make better impacts on the German Christian and non-Christian Communities, and to be genuine blessing to Germany.
It promotes the recognition of the "HEADSHIP OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST" to His whole Body on earth!
We are convinced that where there is love, there are life and light, and God through Jesus Christ rules by the power of the Holy Spirit and preserves His chosen ones.
