God's Goodness Available
Our longing is to see more heaven on earth!
IMI Church is a community made up of different people of all ages and life situations.
There's room for you here and we'd love to get to know you!
What's going on in IMI Church?
You will find IMI Church at Tjensvoll in Stavanger. We also have church plants in Tananger and Oslo.
Feel free to visit us - wherever you are!
The first years of life are also the years when the most important connection occurs. We want to facilitate the experience of healthy and safe attachment to parents, the church and God. In IMI, they are allowed be themselves: laugh and cry, joke and hustle, worship and express themselves, learn about God, and get to know Him. On the whole: explore the world, who God is and who he has created them to be. Here you can read about the various venues that are adapted for the children of this age group.
During Sunday's services at 11:00am, we have a separate arena for the very youngest, where they can be in a playroom together with a parent. Here we make arrangements for the youngest children to get to know God through Bible stories, singing, prayer and play. For the first half hour of the service, we are together with the rest of the congregation before we go outside to be a bit to ourselves. It lasts until 12:45pm. We have changing rooms.
During the Sunday services at 11:00am, this group meets for Bible reading, prayer and games. Here we make it possible for them to get to know God and develop a relationship with him. Children in the Purple group can have an adult with them, but if the child feels safe enough, is independent and works in the group, the child can be without parents. For the first half hour of the service, we are together with the rest of the congregation before we go outside to be a bit to ourselves. It lasts until 12:45pm.

Baptism is one of the most beautiful things that happens in the church. In baptism, God receives us, makes us His children, and invites us into His kingdom. It is not based on what we have done or whether we are good enough, believe enough or want it enough, but it is an invitation we receive from He who loves us and welcomes us as we are.
If you register yourself or your child up to be baptized, you will be invited to a baptismal conversation where you will learn more about what baptism entails. Here you will also get practical information and care on how we practice baptism in the IMI Church.
Everyone is welcome to sign up for baptism, regardless of age, background, ecclesiastical affiliation or membership. We practice baptism on Lutheran grounds and faith, with full immersion. We baptize children, youth, and adults who have not been baptized before.
Registration and dates for baptism can be found by clicking here.
It's about the kids. About giving them the best we have. We know that children have a great capacity to understand, accept, and pass on — often greater than we think. We do not believe that there is a mini-edition of faith, God, and the Holy Spirit for the children—but that God is the same, regardless of age, and that He meets the children on the children's terms. We want to do that too. Here you can read about the various venues that are adapted for the children of this age group.
During Sunday's services at 11:00am, 1st and 2nd class meet in the orange group. We focus on sharing Bible stories, prayer and playing together. Here we make it possible for them to get to know God and develop a relationship with him. In this group, the children are usually without parents, but they can also join if the child wishes. In the Chili groups, the children have a collection that is about the Bible story they saw inside the hall. They also have games, various activities and get something to eat. For the first half hour of the service, we are together with the rest of the congregation before we go outside to be a bit to ourselves. It lasts until 12:45pm.

We know that already at this age, many conscious and unconscious choices are made that have crucial consequences for the rest of their lives. Maybe scary for some? But it's also a huge opportunity.

IMI Church's youth work is called JOIN and we want you to JOIN us!

During the time as a confirmant, many important choices are made, and we want to contribute to and give the confirmands the best. Our goal is for the confirmants to experience that being confirmed in IMI church is a good combination of a safe community, good role models and Jesus. The confirmants meet on Thursdays at 7-9pm for teaching, discipleship groups, socializing and supper. In addition, we travel on the autumn weekend and participate in Impuls.
You don't have to be a member of the IMI Church to confirm with us, and several of our confirmants are not members. Several start the year without knowing anyone. Here you can come as you are, regardless of faith and church background. However, the confirmation is a confirmation of baptism, and requires that the confirmant is baptized before the confirmation day. If this presents challenges, please contact us for a good dialogue about this.
Many choose to continue in the second year as a confirmant student (K2), K3, K4 and K5. So the community continues after confirmation. Read more about this under the category "K2-K5".
NB! We have a limited number of places to 50.
Confirmation Service 2024 is Saturday, May 11 at 11:00 am
Confirmation Service 2025 is Saturday, May 10 at 11:00 am
Confirmation Service 2026 is Saturday, May 9 at 11:00 am
Confirmation Service 2027 is Saturday, May 8 at 11:00 am
When we restarted our confirmation work in 2012, the confirmants requested a continuation after the year was over. It was easy to say yes - and thus K2 was started. The following year came K3, then K4 and K5, and in the spring of 2018 we started pre-K for 8th grade. Some of the same principles for the confirmation year is based on Pre-K and K2-K5. The community may be a little longer closer and safer - and the content grows with age. We meet on Thursday at 19-21 in IMI Church for disciple groups, input and social. Trips are also arranged for these Ks.
Pre-K: Is for those who are of age with those who go to 8th grade or know someone who does
K2: Is for those who are of age with those who go to 10th grade or know someone who does
K3: Is for those who are of age with those who go to 1st grade high school or know someone who does
K4: Is for those who are of age with those who go to 2nd grade high school or know someone who does
K5: Is for those who are of age with those who go to 3rd grade high school or know someone who does
Regardless of where you have confirmed before or what background you have, these Ks are open to all young people who want it.

Where are you in life? Are you a passionate follower of Jesus? Or have you put it on the shelf a little bit? Maybe you experience most things going smoothly in life and that you have a lot to be grateful for? Or is "chaos" or "life crisis" more appropriate words for life now? Regardless, we believe that God wants to meet you where you are, give direction to your life and equip you to live the life he has created you to live. Here you can read about the different arenas that adults meet at in IMI. Note! Also check out under 'Courses and conferences' and 'Services'.
The church is meant to function as a family. That is why we all need to be part of a smaller community. In the house churches we gather around the table, read the Bible together, talk about life, share stories, pray and celebrate what God does.

IMI Church's Counselling Center is today one of the church's care services to its members and the city's residents. Here you can meet someone who wants to talk to you. Counselling helps to become aware of one's own feelings, thoughts, and behaviors through conversation. By being "mirrored" by another person, it can be easier to find good and possible solutions to difficult choices and situations in life.
Around 20 counsellors are currently attached to the center. Several of these have professional competence in relation to guidance, and all the counsellors have undergone or are undergoing training in IMI Church's competence course for counsellors.
The objectives are to meet the person who seeks help in such a way that the individual through conversation and intercession are brought to a clarified relationship with God, himself, and the people they live among. If it is deemed neccessary in the counselling situation, further referral is made to various treatment agencies.
The IMI Counselling Center also organizes several courses on communication, maturation, financial management, guidance and self-understanding. If you scroll a little further down you will find "courses and conferences" and more information about our offer. The calendar tells you when different courses are started.
Contact Anne Lunde if you want guidance or want to get to know the IMI Counselling Center better.

Saturday night we have a bus - Light in the dark - which is out in the Stavanger city center to make God's goodness available to people here.

Our conferences and courses have precisely this goal: that you should grow as a human being with all that it entails.

But we also have conferences where we set aside more time to be with God and other Christians!
Teleios is Greek and means whole/mature – and that is precisely the goal of the course: that we should make adults more mature and whole as human beings. The course is set up with plenary teaching and group work, where we practice the skills we learn. The course consists of the following three modules:
1. The greatest is love. This is the basic course in Teleios. Here you learn to build good relationships by showing each other attention by listening with warmth, respect and empathy.
2. Renewed mind – transformed life. This module will help you shed light how on you respond to everyday events in your life, where you get tools to sort thoughts, feelings and put words into this in encounters with others.
3. Tell the truth in love. This module is about the tougher part of communication - confronting each other in love. Builds on the skills we have learned in the basic course.

Every Sunday the entire congregation gathers for worship
at 11:00am. and 6:00pm. This is a highlight! At these services we want to
meet God together. That is why we spend a lot of time on praise, preaching and intercession.

afterwards. If you are new, you will have the opportunity to say hello to some of us, and get more
information on how to become part of IMI church.
The service at 11:00am (G11) starts together with a game, praise song, creative feature (film/drama) and conversation in groups for the whole family. When there is a baptism or communion, this gathering lasts somewhat longer. The children then go to their own Chili group while the adults continue the service upstairs. The children are divided into five different age groups distributed in different rooms.
There are prayer meetings in the Prayer House before G11 at 10:15 and before the G18 at 17:15.

There are prayer meetings in the Prayer House before G11 at 10:15 and before the G18 at 17:15.

IMI Tananger hosts prayer and worship gatherings, called "Heart Room", three times a year at the prayer house. Twice a semester we invite to themed evenings at the house where strong life stories are shared under the title "My Life – When Life Turned."
From time to time we invite our village out for a trip, where we bring lunch and go on a Sunday walk in the surrounding area, and the children get a great sunday school gathering.
We want to give the children the best we have. We know that children have a great capacity to both understand, receive and pass on— often greater than we think. We do not believe that there is a mini-version of faith, God, and the Holy Spirit for children—but that God is the same, regardless of age. He meets the children on their terms, and so will we. Here you can read about the various arenas that are adapted to the children in this age group.
We celebrate worship service together twice a month at 11:00 at the prayer house Betania in Tananger. There are also three age groups for the children:
Blue group:
3-5 years
Red group:
1st-4th grade
Puls
Group: 5th grade and up
Children from 2nd grade and up have their own "Squad Community" in IMI Tananger. Here we meet on a Friday night of the month in the various homes, for play, devotions and snacks. Every Thursday we invite those who go in Squad from 7th grade and up to PULS-band at the prayer house, where they rehearse various worship songs, including for use in the service.
IMI Tananger arranges and contributes to events such as HalloVenn, Children's Sports Day, Children's Day etc. in Tananger. One week every summer we arrange the Goodness Week in Tananger, where every afternoon we help someone who needs it especially with practical services such as gardening, house painting, renovations etc. We have our own goodness concept that the kids take part in, where they meet to bake and make cards, and with which we bless residents of nursing and care centers.
