Our Beliefs
A. W. Tozer once said the most important thing about a man is what he believes about God. Our God-beliefs will ultimately determine everything about us. At ICON, our statements of belief are not light-hearted sentiments – they are firm foundations of truth upon which we base our lives personally and together.
