WelcomeWelcome to the Innovative Church Community!
ICC is an open, cross-denominational group committed to developing church leaders who are seeking innovative ways to fulfill the Great Commission. "Innovative" doesn't refer to one particular method or style of ministry; rather, it refers to a willingness to try whatever new approaches will result in maximum ministry effectiveness for a particular setting. Most any church leader who is trying to be innovative will find a fit at ICC.
The Innovative Church Community accomplishes its mission through three strategic thrusts: Community, Coaching, and Conferences. We invite you to look around and see how ICC can help you and your ministry! Join our mailing list!

What some experts are saying about Bud's book:
"I have needed this book for the past twenty years. What Bud Wrenn suggests has the potential to unleash and focus an extraordinary amount of power and momentum in our churches. He shows us how to take very seriously the work of leading God's church, in both practical and visionary ways."
Nancy Ortberg, author of Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands: Lessons in Non-Linear Leadership.
“I can’t imagine how any church wouldn’t benefit from this book. It is a thorough, well-written, and compelling overview of the challenges faced by a congregation concerning alignment, innovation, and planning, and how those challenges can be overcome.”
Patrick Lencioni, president, The Table Group, author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
"Anyone can take the simple and make it complicated. Bud Wrenn is that rare pastor-leader who can take the complicated and make it simple. In this book he takes on the complicated issue of church planning and makes it so simple that even I can understand it and do it!"
