The IFCC came into being in Durban on August 18, 1985, and was known then as the International Fellowship of Christian Churches. The formation came about from behind-the-scenes meeting between leaders of various “flows” in the country.  These leaders then came together with others to form the IFCC.

No elections for leadership were held, but those attending the founding meeting endorsed the men who had initiated the coming together as the effective leaders of the IFCC.
The early days of the IFCC saw an emphasis on fellowship and a loose co-operation of affiliated churches and ministries.  It provided an umbrella for hundreds of formerly independent churches.

In time it became apparent that the structures of the IFCC needed to change and a transformation process began with various meetings taking place.
Eventually it was decided to formerly elect an executive, which happened on the 12 and 13 November 1996, and soon after this the name was changed to the International Federation of Christian Churches.

The reason for changing from a fellowship to a federation is to strengthen the unity of the movement, while still respecting the individuality and autonomy of the local church.

The immense needs within a nation require the IFCC to remain at the cutting edge - therefore it is imperative that the IFCC remains “Socially Significant; Prophetically Relevant; Evangelistically Potent; and Spiritually Vibrant”.
