The early days of the IFCC saw an emphasis on fellowship and loose cooperation of a fellowship of churches and ministries. It provided an umbrella for hundreds of formerly independent churches.

At the time it became apparent, that the structures of the IFCC needed to change and a transformation process began. The National leadership found that the loose fellowship of churches strengthened unhealthy independence and not an interdependence of one another. This affected the commitment of leaders and churches, not walking in the fear of Christ.
