Where are you in life? Are you a passionate follower of Jesus? Or have you put it on the shelf a bit? Maybe you feel like most things are going well in your life and that you have a lot to be grateful for? Or is chaos or life crisis a more appropriate word for your 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 created you to live. Here you can read about the different arenas that adults meet in IMI.

House Churches

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. Here we get help to live life as followers of Jesus in everyday life. House churches are the most important thing you can become a part of in IMI church. Here there is always room for one more at the table.

There are many different house churches around the Stavanger region. Contact us to join a House Church.

IMI Guidance Center

IMI Church Counselling Centre 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 you become aware of your 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 affiliated with the centre. Several of these have professional competence in relation to supervision, and all the counsellors have undergone or are trained in IMI Church's competence course for counsellors.

The objective is to meet the person who seeks help in such a way that the individual, through conversation and intercession, is brought to a clarified relationship with God, himself himself and the people among whom he or she lives. If in the counselling situation it is perceived as necessary, reference is made to various treatment authorities.

IMI Guidance Center also organizes several courses on communication, maturation, financial management, guidance and self-understanding. If you scroll down a little further you will find "courses and conferences" and more information about our offer. The calendar tells you when different courses start.

Contact Anne Lunde if you would like guidance or would like to get to know the IMI Guidance Center better.

Light in the dark

On Saturday nights we have a bus - Light in the Dark - that is out in the center of Stavanger to make God's goodness available to people here. The bus is a place where people can have a chat, encounter goodness and care or receive intercession. Many have made a choice to follow Jesus in this very bus in recent years! If you want to mean something to others, this is a great place. Einar Martin Fevang leads this work, contact us at hei@imikirken.no if you want to connect.

Goodness Stavanger

The first week of June each year, Godhet Stavanger is held. This is a week where churches in the Stavanger area set aside afternoons and evenings to do something good for other people. This can be practical kindness such as house painting, gardening, house cleaning, car washing and other care for people in need. Registration for assignments and participants is done at godhetstavanger.no.
