ikon church   a new gospel community [church] meeting in Wadsworth, OH
about us

Curious about the name "ikon"?  

ikon
 means image.

        * Jesus is the 
image of God 
* we are being shaped into his 
image 

        * we were made in the image
 of God 

We believe that God made us in his image
, though we've distorted it.  He has a design for us - to represent and reflect him in this world.  He has shown us who he is through Jesus.  As we learn to follow Jesus, we'll become more like him, more like the ikons we were designed to be.

ikon is currently led by an interim leadership team, while we take time to organize and constitute ourselves in the coming days.
