ICOM’s Ticketed Events!
We still have room in our ticketed events! Each year, we hold 3 Bible Study Breakfasts, 2 Missionary Luncheons, Common Ground (Women Only), & a Hymn Sing throughout the ICOM weekend. 

Bible Study Breakfasts – These will start at 7:30 am both Friday/Saturday & 8 am on Sunday. They include a variety of breakfast items from scrambled eggs & bacon to biscuits & gravy. These breakfast studies will be led by Daryl Reed. Cost is $12.

Missionary Luncheons – These lunches will begin at 12:00 pm both Friday & Saturday & you will hear from 5-7 different people involved in different missions each day. You’ll also get to spend some time in fellowship with the people at your table. Cost is $15. 

Common Ground – This is a time for all the women of ICOM to come together for a time of fellowship & encouragement. We are happy to have the women of the Lall family, working in India, sharing with us this year! This event takes place Saturday afternoon. Cost is $10.

Hymn Sing – Join the Gospel Lads for a celebration of great old Hymns and Gospel Songs at this year’s ICOM Hymn Sing event.  The Gospel Lads, who traveled across America and in several foreign countries singing as a gospel quartet, will be leading some of the great old standards from our hymnals and singing a few well known southern gospel songs during this time of praise.  If you like to tap your toes and clap your hands and savor the memories as you sing and listen to some of the best songs ever written, then don’t miss this event. This event takes place Friday afternoon. Cost is $5.
